Materials

To make one stocking:
• 40cm of outer fabric
• 25cm fabric for cuff
• Thread
• Scissors
• Pinking shears
• Decorative button
• 15cm of ribbon for hanging
• 1 piece of coordinating felt
• Coordinating thread for topstitching
• Fabric glue
• Snowflake template

Step 1

Cut out or trace the stocking template. Tape the body and foot templates together.
Cut two cuff pieces from the cuff fabric and two stocking pieces from the stocking fabric

Step 2

Use the snowflake template and mark the felt in a way in which you will be able to follow the lines. You can use an iron-on transfer pencil or alternatively you can free hand stitch the snowflakes.
With your sewing machine threaded with the contrasting thread, sew over the snowflake patterns. There is no need to cut the thread each time you move from one line to another. Just lift the foot, reposition the snowflake, lower the foot and start sewing again.

Step 3

Snip thread ends off as close to the felt as possible. Using small scissors, trim all the excess felt that is around and between your sewn lines. The closer you get to the sewn line, the more delicate the snowflake will feel, but be careful not to cut your sewn line.
Arrange the snowflakes on both the cuff and body of the stocking and affix with the glue. You only need small amounts. You can sew on each snowflake instead if you like

Step 4

Place one of the cuff pieces to one of the stocking pieces right sides together, pin and stitch together. Repeat with the other cuff and stocking with the stocking facing the opposite direction.
Place these pieces right sides together and sew with a 1cm seam allowance around the outside edge of the stocking and cuff.
Use your pinking shears to cut around the entire edge of the stocking and cuff. Make sure you cut close to the edge so you don't cut the seam.
Fold over a hem at the cuff and stitch. Now fold the cuff over the stocking at the seam.

Step 5

Taking a piece of ribbon form a loop and stitch to the outer edge of the stocking at the seam that is in line with the heel of the stocking. Stitch a decorative button on the ribbon and you are finished
