Because many of you can sew and...well...I cannot,I am going to show all of you no sew'rs how to get this done! Just for the record.. the stockings that I sold at the show were sewn by my sweet sister.
Get yourself a hand drawn pattern. I used birthday paper!
Double your fabric and cut along your pattern.
Face the correct side facing one another and use a small line of fabric glue to your edges like so...
Stop about four inches before the top . This will be your cuff. (I forgot to mention while drawing your pattern ,draw your stocking extra long to include your cuff)
After your glue is dry ,cut your edges so they will lay smooth.
When you turn your stocking right side out it your seem should look like this.
Now take your cuff and clip that little hem on each side.
Like this!
Then glue the edges together. Remember to glue it on the right side. When you turn your cuff down you do not want to see any rough edges.
It should then look like this!
I like to fray my cuff a bit. You will then need to glue or sew your hanger and
rosettes at this time.
Now for all of you talented ladies that can sew please ...no hatin' on our glued stockings. I have not tested the weight limit that fabric glue will hold but they sure do look good...smile~ My kids have their own special stocking given to them at birth so we have no weight limit worries here. Enjoy~
