Thank you! This was easy to understand. I am cross stitching Shepherd's Bush stockings for my grandkids and am going to make my own pattern for the stocking, because the size of the finished cross stitch is kind of odd. I'm glad you mentioned buying you a cup of coffee too, I didn't know that option existed.
I made the shirt I'm wearing in the video using the Cheyenne pattern from Hey June Handmade. I have lots of fabric leftover and used some as a lining for this stocking.
In general, I don't think interfacing is necessary and have never used it in my stockings. I recommend using medium weight fabric for the exterior and light weight fabric for the lining. The combo of the two provides enough thickness and shape for me. That said, if you want to use a thinner fabric and/or want a stiffer stocking then you can try interfacing. I would be cautious about adding it to the cuff because it needs to fold in half easily. I hope that helps!
I want to try this pattern please but I do not know how to subscribe to your newsletter or how to get the pattern downloaded. Please can you tell me how to do this? Thank you. Vera
To get to the link to subscribe to the newsletter and get the pattern you would click the down arrow that is to the right of the video title. Once you click that all the information will pop up. Scroll til you get to the link to subscribe to the newsletter. Hope that helps. I know a lot of people arent aware of the drop down arrow so wanted to explain it in a way that I hope makes sense.
Came to find a tutorial on sewing a Christmas stocking. Yours is the first one I watched and it’s perfect. No need to look any further.
Thank you - this is exactly the video that I needed to get my head around how I do a lined stocking with a cuff.
You are so welcome!
Same! I’ve seen 2 blog tutorials and 2 or 3 videos that weren’t really clear enough to help me figure it out. :-) Thank you!
This video saved me from the cuff, thank you 🙏
Glad it helped!!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I used your video to make me and my partner stockings and we love them!
That was a much easier way than I had been doing. Thank you.

Thank you so much for the tutorial and pattern! That's exactly what I was looking for. I'm new to sewing and can't wait to make these!
You're very welcome! I hope you have fun sewing.
Just the information I needed! Thanks
Super easy and they turned out really cute 😊
I'm so glad to hear that!
Thank you, great video
Easier to stack the main fabric, right sides together, then the lining on top of that with right sides together, and sew all at once.
Thank you ❤
Thanks!
What are the measurements for the cuff. I don't have a printer 😂.
That Madewell shirt used for the video, then repurposed?

Should I add interfacing?
