Step by Step Instructions
Step 1: Printing and Assembling Your Pattern
a) Download our Jingle Stocking Pattern here or visit the DuckaDilly Free Downloads page. The pattern should be printed at 100% scale.
b) Using a ruler and a rotary cutter, trim each pattern piece on the dotted lines.
c) Neatly assemble your cut pieces using a glue stick or tape.
d) Once assembled, carefully cut our your sock.
Step 2: Cutting Your Stocking Fabrics
a) Determine what direction you want your stocking to face, then use the stocking pattern to cut the following pieces:
- 1 Front
- 1 Back (mirrored from the front)
- 2 Linings (one facing each direction)
- 2 Battings
b) Next, cut your hanging loop and interfacing to size (see table above).
Step 3: Quilting Your Stocking
Pin the front and back pieces of your stocking (right side up) to your batting and quilt as desired.
Step 4: Making Your Hanging Loop
a) Iron the fusible interfacing to the wrong side of your hanging loop fabric, following the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
b) Fold your fabric in half lengthwise (right sides together) and sew a 1/4 inch seam.
c) Turn your loop fabric right sides out, then lightly press.
d) Top stitch on both edges, then trim to 9 1/2 inches long.
Step 5: Sewing It All Together
a) With right sides facing, sew your quilted front and back pieces together using a 5/8 inch seam allowance.
b) With right sides facing, sew your lining pieces together using a 5/8 inch seam allowance, leaving a 4 inch opening along the bottom of the foot.
c) Trim the seam allowances on both the quilted stocking and lining.
d) Flip your quilted stocking so right sides are facing out. Insert your quilted sock into the lining (wrong sides facing out). The right sides of both socks should now be touching.
e) Fold the hanging loop in half, matching up the raw ends. Insert the loop (raw edges towards the top) between the two sock layers at the back seams above the heel. Center the loop between the two back seams and pin to secure. The seams should be pinned to one side.
f) Pin around the rest of the top, making sure to line up the seams.
g) Next, stitch around the top using a 1/2 inch seam allowance.
h) Locate the 4 inch opening in the lining and gently pull out the quilted sock.
i) Top-stitch the opening in the foot closed. Then, insert the lining back into the stocking.
Merry everything!
