Steps To Complete
|
Cut out the pattern pieces and tape them together. |
|
Begin by preparing the front of the stocking. Lay pattern piece 2 on top of the lightweight canvas. |
|
Print a template from embroidery software. If you do not have software to make templates, try Wilcom's TrueSizer, a free program. |
|
Remove the template and draw lines connecting the marks. |
|
Spray the cutaway stabilizer with temporary adhesive. Smooth the fabric on top. |
|
When the design has finished, trim the excess stabilizer away from the back. |
|
Cut out the front stocking shape. |
|
To prepare the fabric for the front inner lining, use pattern piece 2 to cut a piece of the print cotton fabric. |
|
Turn the pieces right side out, and fold at the seam. The wrong sides will be together. |
|
Using pattern piece 1, cut one piece of the print cotton fabric for the back inner lining. |
|
Lay the back print cotton piece flat with the right side facing up. |
|
Clip the seam allowance along the curved edges about every 1/2" |
|
Turn the stocking right side out. |

The classic bone shape is the perfect fit for this dog stocking. |
