Christmas Stocking Sewing Patterns

Whether you are sewing Christmas stockings for the end of kids beds or as decor for your house we have some great free tutorials and sewing patterns to share with you from generous bloggers around the world. Thank you sewing bloggers!

Having sewn a few stockings ourselves in the past we have a few words of advice! Unlike with a Woolly stocking, there won't be any stretch in a woven fabric stocking. You might want to let Father Christmas have a quick look to see if it's going to be wide enough. Also when items are placed in the stocking the heel and foot needs to be slightly roomier than a real sock would be to allow for lots of nice goodies to fit past.

If you are making stocking just for decoration in your house just be careful of hanging them over open fires, woodburners or anywhere they are likely to get very hot. sounds obvious but they do look so pretty you may forget! We think hanging them up the stairs looks great, especially with additional garlands, like this beautiful example we found on decoist.com above.
