Homemade Christmas Stockings (my Paper Piecing Stocking Debut!)

I love making homemade Christmas Stockings. I’ve made several over the years, but these were the first I made for our family and the ones we still use at Christmas.

Homemade Christmas Stockings

Even though I started these Homemade Christmas Stockings in July, the end of November rolled around and I hadn’t finished them! I spent one afternoon fighting with my sewing machine to get them done in time to decorate our home for Christmas. Sadly we don’t have a fireplace, but they make a nice wall hanging! I made six in this collection, two of each fabric mix, but we are only hanging four for now. (NO I AM NOT PREGNANT WITH TWINS!). I just made six while I had the fabric as we do plan to add to our family someday…

 

I lined them with a solid red. The back is also the same red color.

 The technique is similar to the tree skirt pattern (part 2)I shared awhile ago.  These stockings came from a store bought pattern {that isn’t available anymore} so I can’t post, but did inspire me to create my own pattern for the tree skirt. See below for some paper piecing patterns you can purchase.
