Christmas Stockings!

At the weekend I finished the Christmas Stockings I'd hinted at previously!


The fabric was from paper-and-string - a lovely shop, and a lovely blog!  I bought two fat quarters, one of the gnome fabric and one of the red spotty fabric.


I used the free pattern and tutorial from here.  It was a great tutorial with a printable pattern.

I lined them with some light blue polka dot fabric I've had for years...


I couldn't get quite everything I needed out of each fat quarter, so I veered off the pattern slightly, and instead of the cuff being made from the same fabric, the underside of it is in the lining fabric:


Which makes no difference really!


I'm very pleased with them, and glad I pulled my finger out and got them made!


Such fun!

  4. What can I say. Spot on. I must try that template you used, although the thought of lining fabric scares me. Does not compute with my brain, but I'll give it a go :)

  8. Beautiful. I am sure that Santa will love filling these stockings. The dots and gnomes combo looks great, and I think that the blue dotty fabric under the cuff adds to the design (in my humble opinion!). Happy Christmas. xx

  11. What fabric did you use? Cotton? They are gorgeous and I really like that they don't look thin

    1. Thanks! Yes, it was just cotton. Because they are lined it gives an extra layer to stop them being too thin.
