Grab a free Christmas Stocking Pattern for your doll this Christmas.
It is such fun at this time of the year to create cute accessories for our dolls.
Easy to make with felt
No fraying to worry about and no bulky seams to turn.
Just cut out the pieces and stitch them together.
6 Steps to a cute Stocking
For the heart window design
- Cut out the heart window
- Pin and stitch the fabric behind the window
- Stitch the stocking top on the front stocking
- Pin the two stocking pieces together with a ribbon loop in between
- Stitch the top of the stocking together
- Stitch the bottom of the stocking together.
2 different styles
- View 1 has the little heart window to showcase some Christmas characters or pretty fabric.
- View 2 uses scrap lengths of ribbon for a festive affect.
Ribbon Stocking from my sewing blog
I adapted the ribbon method to decorate my stocking.
You can use pinking shears to cut out the felt pieces for a nice affect as well as add bows or beads.
It is also easy to make fusible applique motives from decorative fabrics to iron on when your stocking is finished. Just remember to place a cloth over the felt when you use the iron.
I made my tree decorations sealed at the top with a bit of plastic filling to give it some weight. You can use rice too.

Because my next newsletter will be a bit close to Christmas I have posted this design on my blog. I only discovered the stocking on the sewing blog last week when I was looking for some Christmas ideas.
Normally I put my freebies in the Newsletter so make sure you sign up. The form is at the top in the side bar.
I am working on a cute little hobo bag making the instructions and pattern fit my image. It will make a perfect little holiday kids project and only takes a short time to make. The pattern and instructions for the bag will be in my next newsletter out on Friday 22nd December. You may even have time to make it as a Christmas present for your doll.
There are two files for the stocking design:
Happy sewing and crafting,
