Ticking Christmas Stocking Tutorial


Today was one of those

random days where I go from

one project to another and

create a disaster everywhere I go ....

Actually most days are like that :)


While I was creating I took some

pictures along the way to show

you a quick and easy

Christmas stocking ~




I tea dyed the stocking first ~


If you don't have one I have

blank tea dyed ones here for sale ~


Then ripped two 2.5 inch

strips of ticking ~



I gathered mine on my sewing

machine but you can also gather

by hand ~


Next use a fabric glue

( my ultimate favorite is

Fabri Fix ) to glue the

gathered ticking strips on to the

cuff of the stocking ~



Just glue them where you like the

way they look ~


Next I made some rolled roses

out of tea dyed muslin and also

a tea dyed tag for a name ~


I tied the tag with jute and then

glued it on with the roses on top ~



That is it !!


This stocking is for sale on my

website if you don't want to make one ~


Chat soon!

I love this. I haven't made ruffles in a long time, but I know I could still make them. I've never made those little roses though. Do you have a tutorial on them?
Enjoy your week :)
