Patchwork Christmas Stocking

By Lorraine

How to pattern for sewing a Patchwork Christmas Stocking easy enough for a beginner. Makes a sweet, personalized gift for kids and grandchildren.
Sharing a How-To for a patchwork Christmas Stocking is kind of scary for me because I am not great at sewing.  I have, however, made quite a few of these cheerful sacks through the years and Santa hasn’t left any empty, so I guess they are okay in his book.

They aren’t hard even for someone like me.

How to pattern for sewing a Patchwork Christmas Stocking easy enough for a beginner. Makes a sweet, personalized gift for kids and grandchildren.1.  Find a template of a stocking that you like.  You can trace around a stocking you already have or freehand the simple shape yourself allowing for a 1/4-inch seam. Decide on the number of different fabrics and size of squares you want for your stocking.  This one uses four different fabrics and squares cut to 3-inches.  After cutting the squares and arranging in a pleasing pattern, sew into strips using 1/4-inch seam allowance.  Then sew the strips together until you have a piece that is large enough for the stocking pattern.

My kids keep those grandchildren coming so it sometimes takes me a little time to catch up on a stocking for each of them.  ðŸ™‚
 
 
I hand embroidered two names this year and ordered two from a cousin that has an embroidery machine.  You could also cross stitch the name.

    These are precious. Our pets need new stockings. Love the way you were so careful to make it just right, so as not to waste too much fabric. Very clever. Thanks for sharing.

    The children must be thrilled to see their names on the stockings and to see that each one is a different sort of patchwork. They are each a labour of love.
