DIY Sew: Table Cloth Christmas Stockings

Last week, I created a christmas skirt from a holiday table cloth I picked up at Marshalls, this week I decided to take the remaining material and try my hand at homemade christmas stockings!

Here's what you'll need:

Holiday table cloth (or holiday fabric)

scissors

sewing machine and thread

paper bag

Step 1: cut out one side of a paper bag and free hand draw a stocking.  Use scissors to cut out the pattern

Step 2: Fold your fabric with right sides together, place your pattern over the fabric and trace

Step 3: Cut

Step 4: repeat Step 2 tracing the pattern in the opposite direction and cut (you should now have 4 pieces of cut fabric)



Step 5: sew the top and bottom pieces together at the top of the stocking; do the same for the bottom

 

 

Step 6: Place the two pieces of stocking together, pin, and sew all the way around leaving three inches open

 

Step 7: using the three inches you left unsewed, turn the stocking right side out

 

Step 8: Sew the existing three open inches of fabric together

Step 9: Now, stuff the top part of the stocking into the bottom part

Step 10: Take a 1 inch by 6 inch piece of scrap fabric and fold it over, then pin it into the inside of the stocking, and sew it into the back stocking seam

 

... and that's it!
