How Do You Cut The Stocking Pattern For A Quilted Christmas Stocking?
A homemade Christmas stocking adds a wonderful touch to the holidays. Cut the stocking pattern for a quilted Christmas stocking and make a quilted stocking for each member of your family using their favorite color or holiday motif. Lay your fabric on a flat surface with the fabric side you want to show facing down. Place the stocking pattern piece onto the fabric in the top corner to allow enough fabric for the remaining pattern piece. Make sure the fabric lays smooth under the pattern. It shouldn’t be gathered or wrinkled. Trace around the pattern piece using a sewing marker, but make the tracing slightly larger than the pattern piece so there’s enough space to sew the seams together. Cut out the material for the back of the Christmas stocking following the line that you traced. Draw the exact shape as the back part of the stocking to use for the stocking front. Use your scissors to cut out the stocking front.
