DIY quilted Christmas stockings: making traditional and modern Christmas stockings
Today we’re making two sets of Christmas stockings: one set of traditional quilted Christmas stockings and one set of modern Christmas stockings.
The modern stockings use a mix of scraps in mainly greens and whites with some red, yellow, and blue in there too. The stockings are made from a diamond pattern on the front with a bright red diamond fabric print as the back.
The traditional stockings use a single fabric line, the Yuletide collection by My Minds Eye. It has a lot of dark greens and deep reds with some cream to accent. The stocking fronts are made of diagonal stripes and the back is a single fabric with a pattern of Christmas holly.
This video also shows how I troubleshoot when quilting–I got a bit ahead of myself and skipped a step in the process! I had to go back and make sure to take care of that without ruining all the work I’d done. Looking at the finished stockings you’d have no idea, so the troubleshooting did its job!
I tried two different methods to combine the stocking pieces into a single unit. One was very fiddly while the other was much more intuitive and resulted in smoother finished stockings, so I’d recommend using the second construction method! This better method is explained in-depth during the video.
Enjoy!
