How to Make a Christmas Stocking Step-By-Step

 

How to Sew a Christmas stocking: This is the perfect sewing project for a beginner sewer. I’ll teach you how to sew a Christmas stocking with a cuff but you can eliminate the cuff if you don’t have enough fabric or feel too inexperienced to add a cuff. You can also hand sew Christmas stockings but I use a sewing machine in this tutorial.  If you are wondering how to make a simple Christmas Stocking or want to make your own buffalo plaid stockings then keep reading!

 

 

You’ll need a Sewing Machine to make this project. If you don’t have a sewing machine, you can easily hand sew Christmas stockings, it just takes a bit longer.

 

 

I’ll show you how to sew a Christmas stocking with cuff below. These DIY Handmade Christmas stockings were so cheap and easy to make that I ended up sewing 10 stockings in just a couple of hours. The cost of the fabric and materials ended up being $1.67 per stocking! That is super cheap compared to spending $12-$24 per stocking at a store – plus these are high-quality materials and I was able to personalize them to match my home decor.

 

Do you like this buffalo plaid fabric? I found a quilted buffalo plaid fabric at Joanne Fabrics! It was $19.99 per yard and I got 1.5 yards to make 5 buffalo plaid stockings and had enough fabric leftover to make 5 buffalo plaid cuffs for the white stockings.

 

 

How to make a Christmas Stocking:

 

Supplies:

• Sewing Machine or needle and thread if sewing by hand (if not using the no-sew method)
• Glue Gun (if not sewing)
• 1 and 1/2 yards of fabric (makes 5-6 stockings depending on the size of your stocking and width of fabric – I used a quilted fabric in buffalo plaid)
• 1/2 yard fabric (for the cuff – I used super-soft white cotton) OR Fur Ribbon (found at craft stores during the holidays)
• Coordinating Thread (if sewing)
• Scissors
• Fabric Marker (optional)
• Ribbon (for the hanging loop at the top)

 

Directions:

1. Gather supplies. Watch the video below for the No-Sew method.
2. I used another stocking as a pattern for my stockings but I’ve provided a FREE stocking template that you can download below!
3. Trace the stocking template onto your fabric using a fabric marker. 
4. Use scissors to cut out 2 stockings. I folded my fabric and cut 2 at the same time, then cut along the fold at the top.
5. Place the 2 stocking pieces right sides together.
6. Sew around the edge except for the top.  Glue together if using the no-sew method.
7. Turn right side out.
8. Wrap the fur ribbon around the top of the stocking, the fur should be facing inside (wrong side facing out).
9. Cut the fur to size.
10. Sew or glue the right sides of the fur ribbon together. 
11. Place the fur cuff around the outside of the stocking and sew/glue the fur to the top of your stocking.
12. Flip the stocking inside out, then roll the cuff outside of the stocking.
13. Hand stitch or glue a loop of ribbon to the inside corner of the stocking so you can hang the stocking.

 

 

Tip: I had some extra WHITE cotton twill fabric on-hand and was able to use it to make 4 MORE white stockings and use the leftover buffalo plaid fabric as a cuff on the white stockings. Then I hung the stockings on our DIY faux fireplace.
