Patterns Christmas
Looking for a vintage 1970's Sewing pattern for Christmas Stocking?
When my husband was a kid my mother in law made him a christmas stocking. On the outside of the stocking are 25 little pockets 1 for each day until Christmas that you can put little gifts in. I would really like to make one for my daughter but I can't find the pattern and my mother in law doesn't remember how she made it. Can anyone lead me in the right direction? I am new to sewing so a pattern is what I really need.
Thanks!
What if you made 8 rows of 3 pockets and stitched them to the front side of a stocking pattern, plus one
more larger one? Then construct the pattern as usual.
Let's pretend you're making it in felt, and the finished stocking is going to be 6" wide in the "leg" and 24" long. So you'd have room for 8 rows of 2x2" pockets.
Cut strips of felt 2" wide x (6"+ 2 seam allowances) long... let's say the seam allowance is 1/2", so you're going to cut 8 strips of felt 2"x7".
Chalk in your sewing lines at 2.5" from either edge of the strip: |____|___|____|
Sew the strips across the width of the leg just on the bottom of the pocket, and then vertically only on those two center upright lines.
Run 8 of those strips down the stocking leg.
Make one more pocket and place it where you'd like.
Sew the front and back of the stocking together -- when you do so, you'll be sewing 1/2" in, making the sides of those strip pockets as you do so.
If that's all as clear as mud, drop me an email and I'll do you a quick tutorial with paper.
Since you're new to sewing, I'd suggest you use a fabric that doesn't ravel, like fleece or felt, but I can show you how to do it nicely with fabric that would ravel -- it'll just take some more steps.
