Quilt Techniques: Christmas Stocking - Lois - South 2
Get yourself ready for the holidays and make your own Christmas stocking! This class is a great chance to use some of those decorative stitches on your machine to embellish your project. If you have an embroidery machine you can personalize the stocking too, or choose a fun Christmas print and companion fabrics to make it. Add a band at the top and you're ready to fill it with some Christmas goodies.
Supply List:
- Sewing machine and embroidery unit (if applicable) (machine must be in good working order and you must know how to use it)
- open toe embroidery foot
- Seam ripper and other sewing supplies
- Marking pencil to mark back for quilting
- Decorative thread for the decorative stitches. Include some metallic threads if you want
- Metallic machine needles if using metallic thread
- Embroidery needles
- extra empty bobbins (in case you want to match top threads)
- Water soluble stabilizer (if using fleece for the band)
- Tearaway stabilizer
- freezer paper for toe and heel appliqué and trace pattern
- glue stick to appliqué toe and heel
- 12” x 20” cardstock or heavy paper for pattern.
- fabric scissors
Fabrics Needed
- small focal embroidery or novelty print for the centerpiece of your stocking
- polar fleece or thermolam for band (mine was 7” x 20”) for a finished band of 3” (you can also use cotton fabric for the band if you want)
- .1m (or scraps) of three or four coordinating fabrics for front of sock (one should be fairly plain so that the embroidery section will show up)
- .3m fabric for back (scraps can be used on the front)
- .3m Warm and Natural or Heirloom batting or 2 scraps no smaller than 13” x 20”
- .5m muslin for “crazy quilting” base and backing of quilting
- .3m fabric for lining (will not show on outside except just at edge of folded over band)
- 4” cord to hang the sock (or you can make a fabric hanger)
Pre-Class Prep
- If you have an embroidery machine, choose an embroidery design that reflects the person’s interests (or a nice Christmas design). The design should be about 2” x 3” or smaller. To save class time, you can embroidery it at home on one of your “plainer” fabrics. No embroidery machine? – no problem. Just choose a fun Christmas motif instead such as a santa, reindeer, Christmas tree
