How to Make a Quilted Christmas Stockings

Step 1

The first step is to prep all the cuttings for your patchwork. We used the Triangle Trimmer for a lot of the pieces, but you don't have to make triangles if you don't want to.

Step 2

Another option would be to cut strips and blocks of fabric out and piece them together in a fun formation. Your finished layout should be at least 3 inches taller and wider than the stocking template.

Step 3

Before taking all your pieces to your sewing machine, snap a photo of your layout (so you don't forget) and sew all the pieces together 1/4" from the edge.

Step 4

Now that your patchwork piece is all sewn together, its time to cut all your stocking pieces out. Start by measuring and cutting 3 pieces of the muslin in the same size as your patchwork piece.

Step 5

Then, cut 2 pieces of batting in the same size. Line them all up together with the patchwork piece on top. Place your template on top of the stack and cut 1/4" from the template's edge.

Step 6

Before sewing, you need to trim your batting just a tad. So take your 2 pieces of batting and trim them about 1/2" all the way around.

Step 7

The last piece you'll need to be able to assemble your stocking is the loop. Take a piece of any fabric you used in your patchwork and cut it to be 4" by 2".

Step 8

Take it to the ironing board and fold and press the 2 long edges in 1/4". Then, fold the entire piece in half and press with the iron.

Step 9

Take that piece back to the sewing machine and sew along the long open end as close to the edge as you can.

Step 10

Now, take 1 of the 3 cut muslin pieces, a cut piece of batting, and your patchwork piece, and lay them on top of each other in that order. Your patchwork piece should be right side up. Fold all the pieces of the stocking down at the top about 1" in and press with an iron. Sew 1/2" from the top edge.

Step 11

Do the same with the remaining pieces of muslin, but with the foot of the stocking facing the opposite way as the patchwork piece. Fold all the pieces of the stocking down at the top about 1" in and press with an iron. Sew 1/2" from the top edge.

Step 12

Now, with outsides facing each other, place your loop piece at the top corner with the loop facing inward and upward. It should be poking out of the top with the ends near the edges of the stocking pieces.

Step 13

Pin your pieces together and then sew all the way around your stocking about 1/4" from the edge. Don't forget to back stitch at either end.

Step 14

Once your sewing is completed, you can flip your stocking inside out and reveal the final quilted stocking.
