DIY Fabric Elf Christmas stocking Free Sewing Patterns
Greetings Crafters! With this digital download pattern you will have access to the full size pattern and instructions to make your own Elf Stockings. The stockings finish at about 18 inches tall. They do not lay flat like a traditional Christmas/Yule stocking but are 3D. The foot area is stuffed and the leg area is lined and hollow to load with stocking stuffers. You'll find a series of 3 videos (about 10 minutes each) on YouTube that will go over some of the construction details if you do better with show and tell rather than pattern reading. The Story behind the Stocking. I found a really cute picture of Elf Stockings in a Maryjane's Farm magazine and followed the link for instructions. It was bait and switch, the stocking shown in the magazine was not what was provided in the instruction. Don't blame MaryJane's, it was the author of the pattern that had misrepresented her pattern. So I went about designing the stocking I had expected to find and offer it to you now. Have fun making yours unique. Blessings, Wendy Kay

Whimsical Elf Stocking Pattern
Picked By Jen posts are posts where I show you something I have made from a chosen tutorial that I found "somewhere on the web". It has been a while since I've done one, and what could be more perfect for December than stockings? Not the greatest picture, but it still makes my heart smile. I chose the Elf Stocking (you will need to scroll down the page a bit to get the free download) from Patty Young of MODKID. If you are looking for a quick, cute stocking pattern, this is it. Look at those elf toes!! Since I made six stockings, I traced the pattern onto interfacing. That way I could cut several and it would still be in good shape. Once I was done with it, I was able to just stick it into a manila envelope for storage and not worry about the tape coming off, or the paper getting creased. Maybe, years from now, I'll need to make little stockings to match. Though the more likely scenario is that we'll lose one and I'll need to make another next year. When I use interfacing as a pattern, I position it on the fabric like any other pattern and then use weights to hold it all in place. In this case it was cans of chili beans. Then I use my rotary cutter. Since I found PDF clothing patterns, I have been convinced that scissors are no longer necessary for cutting out any fabric. Rotary cutter all the way...usually. Even for that small area I pulled out my little 18 mm rotary cutter, and it worked perfectly. Just go slow and easy and I think you will find you like it. I made one stocking all the way through, to make sure I understood the instructions, then made the last 5 all at once. CUTE!! (If I do say so myself.) The only thing I changed was that I added a lining, simply because I didn't like the feel of the fleece. Nancy Zimmerman also added a lining, you can see her sock, and get instructions for that, here. If you want to make a quick, cute Elf Stocking, this one really was quick, and I think completely adorable. Happy Stitching! Jen

Elf Christmas Stocking Tutorial & Pattern These shown are in Liberty Print Fabrics As promised a tutorial and downloadable pattern, for you to scale to what ever size you want your stockings. Also a reminder I am also giving away one of the stockings, it is open to anybody anywhere in the world!! all you have to do is go to the previous post click here leave a message and I will be picking a winner on Sunday. The Tutorial I used approx FQ to 1/2 metre/yard of fabric on these And used 4 different fabrics 2 pieces for the leg 2 pieces for the toe 2 heel pieces 1 piece for the cuff PLUS batting or thin wadding optional cotton lining inside same size as batting (so it is sandwiched, you can also buy cotton backed wadding) TIP: if you don't have either of these and want to use up those craft things you have been hoarding, you know that 1/2 metre of felt you have hanging around! Then use this to bulk it out, after all, its not a quilt that is being washed all the time. First cut out your paper pattern Then cut out your fabric pieces 2 x leg 2 x toe 2 x heel 1 x cuff on fold Taking one toe piece & leg piece match up On join, fold right sides together (hard to see on the Tana lawn fabric! sorry!) Pin NOTE: see the 1/4" overlap at edges. You will sew a 1/4" seam, so this overlap will help prevent it being off centre sometimes only practice makes sense on this when you open it out and iron.. Open out and iron I still have unmatched seams on the left, but don't worry it will be trimmed up later repeat this for the other side of the stocking Next lay the cotton white fabric right side down - if using then the batting, wadding or elt (what ever you have to hand) Then one of the the stocking sides face up then lay the heel in place, pin. First I using a zigzag stitch sew the heel in place, this also prevents fraying Then I freehand quilt the rest of the stocking, if you don't know how or do not have a machine foot to do this then just straight line stitch at a random intervals across the stocking. Next after sewing both sides cut around the edges. You should end up with something similar to the above photo. With right sides together line up your heel Pin, sew around the edge with a 1/4" seam, leaving the top end open Before turning, snip into all the curves and snip away fabric at the curly toe Turned stocking TIP: push the toe out using a large knitting needle. just be careful not to push the needle through the fabric. Then put to one side. Taking your cuff piece of fabric opened out notice longer edge along top and bottom shorter edge left and right Fold in half shorted ends together, and right sides together, sew down what is now the longer side, shown on the right side of this photo, turn right-side out, you will have a tube, iron flat the seam Then turn up, so both raw edges are toether A closer look of the other end then iron flat again We are now on the home straight! Taking your stocking and cuff piece as shown place your cuff inside the stocking and pin. All your raw edges will be together You stocking maybe large enough to go around the bottom of your machine, The way you may sew a leg hem. if you remove the attached plate, If not careful sew with the cuff above the machine (I will add a photo as reference as this is what I did) Then over-lock the seam, and trim Pull the cuff out from the inside And fold the cuff over the stocking leg Iron. Last thing to do is stuff to the toe add a jingle bell, then a piece of ribbon and optional button at the top for hanging and decoration. You are now all finished!

You know that we only ever share bag sewing patterns, but we think with the holiday and gift-giving season on the way, it makes total sense to share a 'bag'
