What’s the Project? Want to make some stockings this year to hang or to give as a gift? Use this easy Christmas stocking pattern to sew a stocking in about 10 minutes.

This post is the brain child of my husband. Gotta give credit where credit is due! I was thinking out loud to him that I needed some more ideas for the holiday season and he said “how about 5-minute stockings?” Now, of course, I have thought of doing a stocking tutorial in the past, but I think maybe I thought it was overdone already? I don’t know. But I hadn’t done one.

But I know that quick and easy sewing tutorials are a favorite project idea with my readers, and yes, you can make this stocking in-not 5 minutes like my husband suggested (he doesn’t sew, so what does he know about it really?)-but in 10 minutes. Or, 8. I started at 11:31 and was finished by 11:39. And that’s while watching Gilmore Girls too! So, here you have it, a very free, easy Christmas stocking pattern and tutorial!

Easy Christmas Stocking Pattern

How to make Christmas stockings-it’s seriously so easy! They are too much fun! And you can do them with any fabric you want. I chose to use fur because I thought it would be cute on the inside-and I love it! But you can use fleece or just cotton for both layers or whatever you want!

I think these would also be cute filled up with fun items for your friends!

So let’s do it, shall we?

 

Easy Christmas Stocking Pattern:

Supplies Needed: 

  • 1/2 yard each of two fabrics (I used fur for the inside-you can use whatever you want. Fleece, cotton, fur, minky, etc)
  • Ribbon to create a hanger (optional)
  • Stocking Pattern Pieces

 

Sewing Instructions: 

Print and cut the pattern pieces and tape them together. PLEASE make sure that you are certain that you are printing them at 100%. Otherwise, your stocking won’t be a great size.  Tape one to two and two to three. Three is slightly too big for the page so just fill in that little bit that cut off.

Fold your fabric in half and cut around your stocking pattern so that you have 2 pieces that are mirror images of each other. Do this with both of your fabrics for a total of 4 pieces.

How to Make a Christmas Stocking

Grab your first two pieces-your outer fabric ones and place them with right sides together. Sew around the sides and bottom. Clip the curve of the stocking (the front of the ankle) with little snips. This helps it turn better without puckering.

How to Make a Christmas Stocking

Now get your inner fabric and do the same thing. If you are using fur or minky, pin A LOT! It likes to try to move while you are sewing:

Easy Christmas Stocking Pattern

Now, turn your inner stocking RIGHT SIDE OUT and your outer INSIDE OUT and stick the inner into the outer. Right sides will be together inside the stocking. Pin around the top:

How to Sew a Stocking

Sew around the top leaving a 2-3 inch opening.

Turn it all right side out through that opening:

Smooth it all out and then align the fabric on the opening so that it is slightly folded inward and sew the opening closed.

Press the whole thing all nice.

Then fill ‘er up!

Easy and Free Stocking Pattern for Christmas

Kind of love these! I actually make one once with pink polka dot fabric on the outside and it was so cute!

    Hi, THanks so much for this! I love your tutorials, they are so easy to follow. Can you please clarify when/how I would put the ribbon in to hang the stocking?
    Thank you!

      I’d probably just stitch that on right at the end-maybe even by hand.

    thanks so much, I’ll have to check it out when the quarantine is over &/or next Holiday season, if that’s when the fur comes back in stock.

    Hi! I am a little co fused about what to do when you sew the top up. I put the inner layer (right side out) in the outer one (inside out), but when I sewed the tops together and flipped everything inside out.. then there was just no opening! I am 100% a beginner at sewing so I am positive I misunderstood something, so could you please explain more specifically how to sew the top part? Thank you!

      You need to leave an opening, not sew all the way around, so it can be “turned”

    I know this is many years later, but where did you find that great fur!!
    IF i can find it in time, I might just line them too, wasn’t planning on that.

    What is the final measurement of the stockings? It’s hard to tell how big they are. Thanks

      They’ll be an inch smaller on all sides than when you cut it if you are using a 1/2 inch seam allowance.

    I love the Christmas stocking’s, you state that you used the fur on the inside- did you line the WHOLE inside of the stocking with it or just the top part? Thank you.

      I’ve done it both ways but on these I believe I lined the whole thing.

    Hi,

    If you’re still answering questions on the stockings, I’d like to know where I’m missing the info on the cuff? I can’t find an instructions on what sizr to cut it and when and how it’s attached. Where did I go wrong?

    Thank you.

      So you’re actually sewing two full stocking pieces together and then turning the inner part down over the outer to create the cuff.

    Do these stockings downsize well or do you have a smaller version of the pattern? I’m looking to make 22 stockings for my kid’s daycare teachers and staff to hold some chapstick and cookies…

    I love the stockings, I would love to try them. I love the polka dot fabric and the fur that you used for the top, where are the fabric and fur from?? Also- when you say that you used the fur on the inside- did you line the WHOLE inside of the stocking with it or just the top part? I am a beginner as well so I tend to have a lot of questions…..Thanks!

    Thank you for the clear instructions for a simple but lovely project. Can’t tell you the number of times I have attempted what was supposed to be a fast and easy project from other bloggers websites and only ended up scrapping the project because I didn’t’t have time to rip out and start over. You unpredictable are clear and easy to understand.

      We have been using fabric markers. I guess fabric crayons might work too?
