Lets gather our materials:
Super Easy Strippy Stocking Pattern
21 - 2.5” x 12” assorted fabric strips
1 - Fat eighth for the “cuff”
1 - Fat eighth for the “heel and toe”
1 yard for the lining and the backing
10” of 1/2” twill tape, or preferred material for the hanging loop
Time to get started!
Following the pattern, trim your paper pattern, and prepare your back and lining fabric pieces.
Starting at piece #1:
On back side of pattern, line up edges of fabric strips (right sides together) with sewing line on front side of pattern.
Sew on the line on the front of pattern with fabric underneath the paper pattern.
A light box or a bright window is super helpful to line up each new strip.
Stitch on pattern line, fold pattern paper back, then trim seam allowance to ¼ inch, and press open.
Sew all the strips on in the same manner.
Sew two pieces together to cover toe piece. Pink the edges with pinking shears.
Stitch on the toe piece and pink the edges. Repeat for the heel piece.
Sew three strips of the lightest jelly roll strips together to make the “cuff” of the stocking.
Stitch all the way around the stocking pattern.
Tear away the outer edge of the paper (inside too if you want, but not necessary).
Layer fabric pieces in the following order:
Back, right side down
Back lining, right side up
Front lining, right side down
Striped front, right side up
Pin all four layers together.
Sew all four layers together using the stitching line on the striped piece.
Using pinking shears, cut away excess ¼ inch from the stitching line.
Unsew the top edge and down the sides a couple inches.
Sew striped front and front liner together along the edge of the previously unsewn line.
Insert the hanging loop between back and back liner, then sew back together along the edge of the previously unsewn line.
Finish by sewing the sides back up to the top edge, through all four layers.
Leave the top open for goodies!
All finished!
