Knowle Village Hall, Solihull

Duration 2.5 hours

This class is suitable for those who have used a machine before. If you need a beginner’s class please see the workshops page for available classes.

Come along and get prepared for Christmas and learn how to make a beautiful bespoke Christmas stocking. This would make such a gorgeous addition to your Christmas trimmings and would make a lovely personalised handmade gift for someone.

The stocking is fully lined and can be customised using a variety of fabric combinations and optional trims. The possibilities are endless! There will also be the option to applique a letter on the stocking.

Approximate height of stockings in the photographs are 31cm and 13cm across the top. This is a lovely size to put smaller items such as sweets, small teddy etc.

Why not book with friends and get into the festive spirit together?

What will you learn:

• Tips on how to cut out fabric from a template accurately
• How to attach a lining to the stocking
• How to applique
• How to sew around curves accurately
• How to attach trims neatly

Equipment and Materials:

• Janome sewing machines and basic sewing tools provided to use
• A selection of fabric scraps to use for the appliqué
• Bondaweb for applique
• Tea/Coffee included.

What you need to bring:

3 fat quarters of fabric (1 for outer stocking, 1 for lining and 1 for cuff) - readily available in packs of 5-7 fat quarters in haberdasheries e.g Hobbycraft, John Lewis

Any trims you may wish to embellish your stocking with and for the hanging hook e.g. pom pom trim or ric rac (nothing too fiddly!)

Cost £25

Lorna says:

“I absolutely loved making these stockings. Once you know how to make it and have practised the techniques they can be quite quick to make up so they would make gorgeous gifts for family/friends and even pets!!! For the ‘C’ stocking hanging loop, I used the white ribbon that held the bundle of fat quarters together - thrifty hey?! I had a real job of choosing which fabrics to use - there are so many pretty Christmas fabrics out there! This would be a really fun class to do with friends.”
