Join us Wednesday, November 28th in the Virtual Labs, specifically the "sewing room" room, at 4:30pm Eastern sharp for the next Labs Online Workshop!

Cathy of fernfiddlehead has graciously volunteered to host an online video tutorial with webcam demonstrating how to make your very own holiday stockings by following a super simple pattern similar to the stockings currently listed in her Etsy shop!  She will be going through the demonstration step by step. Her stocking pattern allows for ample creativity so you can customize your stockings to fit your own holiday style!

• Pattern of stocking (She drew hers on four pieces of scrap paper which she stapled together).
• 2 types of contrasting fabric.  Make any type of stocking (Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, Winter Solstice, etc.). The fabric and design elements will shape your theme.
• Stocking fabric: enough to cut two pattern pieces. 
• Lining fabric: enough to cut two pattern pieces (the pieces will be slightly longer than the stocking fabric – this ends up being the cuff at the top of the stocking).
• Same amount interfacing that you needed for stocking fabric (unless your fabric is already quite stiff and sturdy).
• Any embellishments you prefer to use on your stocking (e.g., rick rack, ribbons, appliqué, felt, rhinestones, glitter, etc.). This will be applied after cutting but before sewing.
• Something to make the loop for the stocking. You can use the fabric, but you could make the loop out of other things: shoe laces, ribbon, webbing, metal ring, etc.
• Thread (can match or contrast – there is a little top-stitching so thread will show).
• Sewing machine
• Pins
• Scissors
• Iron
• Ironing board
