How To Sew A Christmas Stocking

"Learn how to sew a Christmas stocking two ways with this easy, beginner-friendly pattern. This pattern makes a spacious Christmas stocking that you can hang by the fireplace or stuff with gifts as a gift wrap. Believe it or not, this tutorial for how to sew a Christmas stocking has actually been percolating in my mind since 2018 when I was planning for the Little Gifts Sew Along. I’m glad I finally sat down to write up the pattern, because I added a second version to give you plenty of options. The pattern also includes 7 different ideas for making this Christmas stocking pattern uniquely yours! "
