It’s the final day of our Christmas sewing adventure! You’ll be hanging up your stocking and showing off your Christmas mantle to all your Instagram friends before you even know it! After seeing things start to come together yesterday, I can’t wait to see the final product today! Let’s get wrapping this project up:

Today, we’ll be following steps 17—22 from your pattern.

Let’s start with steps 17—19: joining the tops of our stockings. Make sure to line up your seams carefully and pinning generously.

The sewing will go a lot easier for you if you remove the front attachment on your machine, allowing you to put the stocking around the throat of the machine, rather than trying to work on a flat surface.

Now it’s time to turn these stockings right side out (the best part!) Follow step 20 to find the hidden spot where we’ll hand sew the opening shut.

And we’re done! If you’d like to add more ribbon to the hanging ribbon or a fabulous button (maybe a few fabulous buttons would be sweet), go for it! With my second stocking, I chose to keep things simple, but if the right button finds me, that might change!
