1. Lay 2 pieces of fabric wrong side out (I used red for the lining of the stocking and spongebob for the outside of the stocking) and draw your stocking shape. Cut around leaving a seam allowance. Make sure both the lining and outside fabric are the same size.
3. Layer the fabric with the outside (spongebob) fabric, quilting batting, and lining (red) facing the right sides out
4. Sew in a meandering stitch on your machine to create a quilted look (will send video separately)
Picture shows the front (spongebob) and back (red) of the pieces after i "quilted" them
5. Cut out fabric for the cuff by lining the 2 pieces against it to see how long it needs to be (or I suppose you could measure also; I always wing it and hardly ever use a measuring tape).
6. trim it and lay it out flat
7. fold in half, wrong sides out, to sew the seam
8. Sew the seam
9. Fold in half "longways", with wrong sides in, to create the cuff
10. Cut a smaller piece to use for the loop. You can also use ribbon or ric rac- get creative! If using material, sew it wrong sides out longways and turn right sides out
11. Sew the 2 pieces of the stocking together, lining (red) sides out and outside (spongebob) sides in. Leave the top open.
12. Trim the extra around the stocking and Turn it so the outside (spongebob) is out
13. fold the loop piece in half and line against the cuff's seam leaving the raw edges together and the folded ends together
14. Stuff cuff inside the stocking so that all open/unfinished edges meet the unfinished edge of the stocking. (the fold in the cuff will be inside the stocking, the raw edge near the top)
15. Sew along the top. Be sure to use a backstitch on both beginning and end
16. Pull cuff out
17. And Fold over. You know have a completed stocking!!!
I hope this tutorial was easy to follow!!!
