Hello! You may have seen my Scandinavian-inspired cross-stitch stockings in the past, just waiting to be sewn, finished and hung upon the mantle. Well good news! They have finally found a home. This post is not meant to be an in-depth tutorial, and assumes intermediate sewing skills. But please feel free to leave any questions or requests for clarifications in the comments and I'll try my best to get back to you in a timely manner.
Finishing the StitchingYou'll need a medium weight interfacing or light batting as well as a piece of opaque white fabric to back the cross-stitch portion. Cut the batting and fabric to the large stocking size, and then baste around the edges. Create the Lining Cut two pieces of lining (large size). Keep in mind what direction the "toe" will go so you have two pieces going the correct way. Stitch these together with 1/2" seam allowance. Set aside. Prep the BackYou only need 1 piece for the backing, facing the correct way as to match up with the stitched front. You will also need a matching piece of interfacing or batting. Baste around the edge of the backing and the batting. Then pin right sides together with the cross stitch, and stitch around the stocking, leaving the top portion open. Don't forget to add your hanging loop! Putting it all Together You now have two stockings, one of lining and one of the cross stitch + batting + back fabric. Place the cross stitch stocking INSIDE of the lining, right sides facing. Stitch around the top. Pull through the hole you left. All of Christmas has been put away for quite a while now...so it final product photos may have to wait until next Christmas!
