Free Sewing Pattern Chenille Christmas Stocking

Chenille Christmas Stocking

Take those favorite hankies, embroidered goodies and chenille beadspreads to make up an heirloom christmas stocking.  This free christmas stocking sewing pattern is a great pattern for beginners too!  It's large enough for a fair amount of presents– but not too big… can't be too greedy now, can we?

The top edge of the Christmas stocking is a vintage hankie {from my ever growing collection}  This is a great way to use the points– they usually have the embroidery or fancy crochet edgings.  The toes and heels are also hankies.  Mix and match so it gives it a scrappy look and feel.  If you don't happen to have chenille hanging around in your collection, you could use a 'cutter' quilt.  That's a quilt that has been loved and washed enough times that there are holes, warn spots, maybe even some slobber spots.  

So go dig through your fantastic stash and see what you have that will work…..
