SDS4452 Poinsettia Christmas Stockings

The tradition of Christmas stockings is thought to have originated in European folklore, particularly from the legend of Saint Nicholas, the 4th-century bishop known for his generosity. One popular story tells of a poor man with three daughters who couldn’t afford their dowries. Saint Nicholas heard of their plight and, during the night, secretly dropped bags of gold down the chimney, which landed in stockings that the daughters had hung by the fireplace to dry.

Thanks to Saint Nicholas we have Christmas stockings to make each year! These stunning stockings is begging to be stitched in multiple colours, reds, yellows, blues, pinks and purples will all look stunning!

This set includes a whopping 6 sizes, each will yield a stocking of the hoop size. e.g 9x6" will yield a 9x6" stocking. As always we've included detailed instructions to help you make the most of them. Also do checkout the video tutorial we've prepared for you below.

Fabric Requirements:

Fabric of your choice and color of your choice , I recommend canvas or denim
You will use 2 piece for each side of your stocking, so depending on the above hoop
sizes. But your fabric about 2-3 inch larger than the relevant size.
Cut away stabilizer
Fabric for lining (I used cotton fabric) same size as the white fabric
Fur or polar fleece for the trim at the top

Additional:

• 505 Spray
• Pins / Wonder Clips
• Thread – Marathon is used in the examples and the color charts are included in PDF format in the zip file.
• I used gold metallic thread for the quilting background and for the outline on the yellow stocking.
• Batting is optional, I did not add batting to these as I used a sturdy denim/canvas fabric, if you are using a lighter weight fabric, you can add batting.
