Shabby Chic Christmas Stocking | Easy Sewing Pattern

I’m sure this stylish stocking won’t be put away after Christmas – fill it with silk flowers to make a beautiful year-round decoration!

Embellish your stocking with anything you like: ribbons, lace, flowers, leaves and beads, you really can’t add too much! Keep the colours neutral to create the same vintage look or swap them out for reds and greens if you prefer a more traditional stocking! You can even add a name to each stocking and personalise them. This project was originally published in my book Half Yard Vintage, pick up a copy for more vintage-style projects and ideas!

Finished size: about 7 x 18in (17.75 x 45.75cm)
