Why You Should Sew This Free Christmas Stocking

Christmas stockings are the perfect heirloom to sew this season. They’re easy to make, and there’s so much potential. Make them out of a thrifted quilt or shirt, use apparel fabric from garments you sewed this year. I like to pin Christmas stocking ideas throughout the year to save as inspiration once the holidays come along!

I saw Mary’s free stocking pattern recently and knew it would be a great pattern to feature. It’s beginner-friendly and can easily be cut and sewn in a weekend.

The tutorial features a video that is detailed and easy to follow. You can be sure to make an heirloom that your family will cherish for years to come.

Mary has published several other sewing patterns, including the Valencia Top, the Riviera Dress, and the Rosie Utility Suit. She also has a YouTube channel with tutorials for her patterns!

Be sure to check out Maiden Mary’s Instagram for inspiration for your next make!
