Great tut. in my mind this is how I thought it would, just needed a visual! I plan to make about 30 of these, fill them up so my son and I can donate them to a kids shelter in our town. Happy Holidays!

@TheCraftyGemini 11 лет назад

You can do that but the lining won't hang loosely inside the stocking.It's also done so that the top edge is pulled in towards the stocking and you don't have any exposed seam edges. But I'm sure the other way would work.. I just like the finished look using this method better.

@TheCraftyGemini 14 лет назад

@nichelle2571 LOL. It may seem easy for some but I'm sure someone out there has an even more efficient way of making the same stocking! It's all about trial and error... just keep practicing!

@TheCraftyGemini 11 лет назад

You mean the batting? Then the stocking may look a little flimsy. You can try fusing some lightweight interfacing to your fabrics instead to help add a little extra body. Good luck!

@TheCraftyGemini 13 лет назад

@candicherry1987 Glad you found my videos! I have an entire blog post dedicated to that little iron. Check it out at: craftygemini.blogspot.com/2010/03/little-iron-that-could.html

@TheCraftyGemini 11 лет назад

If you live in the US you can get it at any grocery store. It's usually by the aluminum foil. I usually can find the Reynolds brand. Good luck!

@TheCraftyGemini 11 лет назад

I agree that it will be too stiff. But it would still be a cute stocking. If that's what you have go for it! Have fun!

@sarahhancock848 4 года назад

This is perfect. I've looked through 3 stocking tutorials just now and this one is definitely the right one for me. Thank you!

@TheCraftyGemini 11 лет назад

You can do a google search for a "free christmas stocking template" and I'm sure you'll find a bunch. Have fun!

@TheCraftyGemini 11 лет назад

I can get it at any grocery store in the are where they have the aluminum foil and wax paper.

@TheCraftyGemini 14 лет назад

@nichelle2571 LOL. thanks! Great to see you have been bit by the bug! Happy sewing! I

@alisonnichols1948 9 лет назад

Thank you so much!!! I was wracking my brain trying to figure out how to put the lining in a stocking I needlepointed. Cheers!

@katreecem.4187 6 лет назад

My daughter, who is 8, is learning to sew and wanted to make a stocking. Out of all of the videos to watch, yours was the easiest to follow along with. Thanks so much. We have made 5 so far. :)

@talk_bikes_to_me 8 лет назад

I watched other tutorials, and this was the only one that made sense! love this. thank you!

@TheCraftyGemini 12 лет назад

Thanks so much, Margot! Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss out on the new weekly videos I post. I have a blog post on the mini iron with all the info. Go to craftygemini(dot)com and do a search at the top of the page (under the banner image) for "mini iron." Hope that helps!

@IRobotUJane 12 лет назад

Guys Just google printable stocking template, it's not that hard.

@gothamsghost 10 лет назад

Eight people wouldn't know a well made RU-vid video if it smacked them across the face. This is very well done. Thank you!

@suraiyaritcey Thanks, I like to be thorough in my instructional videos...especially for my beginning sewing viewers :o)

@TheCraftyGemini 12 лет назад

@me1bhun1 Yay! Great resourceful substitutions! I'm glad my video helped. Happy holidays! :o)

@keraschko 10 лет назад

I'm new to sewing, so my question is, where do we cut our socking on the fabric? Do we cut it perpendicular to the selvage, or parallel? Or does it not matter, since it's not something we're wearing?

@TheCraftyGemini 10 лет назад

For this project it won't really matter. So just fit the template in wherever you can get the least amount of waste from your fabric. Happy sewing!

@TheCraftyGemini 12 лет назад

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed my teaching style. :o) I have over 100 videos posted now and a ton of them are for beginner projects you'll also enjoy! Check them out! :o)

@TheCraftyGemini 12 лет назад

Thanks! I love it too! I have two of 'em. The info on where you can get the iron is in the video description box above.. in case you were interested. :o)

@Velvet_Whisper 11 лет назад

I don't sew @ all so this may be a dumb question when ur doing the lining why don't u just cut it out and sew it to the batting all@ once instead go sewing it separate and pulling it thru

@TheCraftyGemini 11 лет назад

ouch! Definitely not the same thing! :o/ Hope you were able to make one eventually.

@TheCraftyGemini 11 лет назад

hahahahaha... too slick! ;o)

@TheCraftyGemini 12 лет назад

@Junebug57Junebug No problem. Glad to help!

@MsChelle_BIAM 8 лет назад

I've looked at tons of videos on how to make a stocking and yours is the most easiest to follow..I'm a beginner sewer. Thanks for such great instructions.

@mirnakelley6500 12 лет назад

Enjoyed watching a video on the subject that finally made sense to me ! Your demonstrations are clear and to the point.. very professional. You clearly explain and demonstrate each step. You do not ramble on. Keep up the great work ! Do you know how to do a stocking with a loose cuff ? A cuff not sewn on to the outside of the socking but only sewn to the lining? I would appreciate a demo on that type of cuff. Thank you !

@candicherry1987 13 лет назад

I am new to your videos but I think I've watched most of them already! I also ordered your ruffled pillowcase dress pattern recently and will be making it as soon as I buy my rotary cutter and mat! Could you tell me -- where did you buy that tiny iron? I love it! It would make things so much easier. I currently sew at the kitchen table and since I have an ironing board that hangs over my coat closet door, there is a lot of back and forth in sewing. That would simplify things so much!

@nrawson66 7 лет назад

I am just looking bing this stocking you made!!! I'm a beginner sewer and I want to try this!!! Love your mini iron. Where did you get the cuff fabric and that red fabric. I want to get some!!! I LOVE IT!!!

@TheCraftyGemini 11 лет назад

G;lad it worked for you! Thanks for stopping by. :o)

@kerryasquith1867 7 лет назад

Thank you so much for this video. I have seen so many videos, few of which are as well explained as yours. I can't wait to give it a try!

@jodisantillan3948 6 лет назад

I didn’t have any wax paper, just regular paper so I used a little basting spray! Worked like a charm 😊

@kathleenworkman5878 4 года назад

See video from MSQC, Jenny's stocking is easier, faster, and better, Out side she forgot to add the loop for hanging it. If it helps, I do find many of your video's very helpful and a few better then Jenny's.

@MrSarahWOO 11 лет назад

You could use it probably but it would be much stiffer. You could also use felt as an alternate option for batting just to give the fabric more structure (if you do not have the flat batting).

@TheCraftyGemini 12 лет назад

@Gettingcraftywitit Definitely! Can't wait to see it!

@tamaracarroll6754 11 лет назад

Hi, I went ahead and made it out of felt, it was actually very easy to work with and not to stiff, it was easy to embroider on as well, turned out great, next time i will use cloth.

@TheCraftyGemini 11 лет назад

Thanks~ Let me know how it goes. It's fun to make~! :o)

@vborja3877 2 года назад

Thank you. I watch several videos but yours seemed the easiest. Thank you for the simple and not too much explaining 😅

@TheCraftyGemini 11 лет назад

I'll add your suggestion to my list. Thanks!

@dianel2898 3 года назад

I sew a lot and I enjoyed this tutorial, but I am using fleece and the batting won't be necessary using fleece as it would make it too thick. If you are using cotton, that's a little different. Also, to make the cuff, make the stocking longer, follow the sewing directions with the lining space to turn the stocking inside out. When you have done that, make a real cuff at the top, tack it down by handsewing it and hand sew the tie loop to the back. It's my version of it and I think it takes less time. Since I am looking to make about 10 of these, it seems like the streamlined way to go. This visual was helpful and even with my own modifications, I appreciated this as well. Oh, just love that mini iron. Wow where did you find that? I could really use one.

@margotaldrich8065 12 лет назад

love your pace, your logic and the fact that you're not slow and boring! I'll definitely check out your other videos. Where do you get that cool mini iron?

@stevefox898 Год назад

My favorite Christmas stockings are the ones worn by women, preferably fishnet stockings.

@PawsAndProfoundFacts 11 лет назад

excellent video thank u. I have not done the project yet but the more i watch your videos the more i get to understand how to sew

@rileyburke3834 12 лет назад

I know you can free hand the template but where can you get one printed like that full size sometimes it's difficult to get the measurements and shapes

@princesspeachtoadstool1727 3 года назад

Your video is very helpful. I plan on making Christmas stockings for the kids I babysit and thanks to your video I know more or less what to do.

@TheCraftyGemini 11 лет назад

I was able to use your tutorial today for a stocking with an Aida cuff for cross stitching. I tried a different way for the cuff, too bulky. The way you attach the cuff is so much easier, I added binding to the bottom of the Aida fabric to have a border. I’m a happy camper today.

@patriciabrightwell196 6 лет назад

Thank you so much for posting this. I want to go to Spain next year to walk the el Camino Road to Santiago de Compostela, and need to raise $4,000. That's mainly for airfare. I am old, and I've wanted to do this since I was in my 20's when I ran and was still in ballet and worked out, etc. -- I am 61 now, and if I can raise the funds, I will be 62 the month I go. I sew, but I am not an expert by any means. I can, however, sew a straight line and make ruffles. Your tutorial was so easy to follow and I am going now to my machine -- my Brother, which I LOVE LOVE LOVE and try my hand at making one -- Blessings to you and your family at the beginning of this season of peace and love -- much appreciation and best regards, Patricia
