Mini Christmas Stockings Tutorial

My apologies for posting this without a finished picture but I haven't got my camera with me, sorry

 Requirements:
1 x Northcott's 'Stocking Stuffer' panel
60 cm (24") x lining fabric (I used a solid maroon colour)
3.2 m (3.25 yds) x 3 mm (1/8")  ribbon
1 x reel thread - Gutermann natural cotton shade 2433
Bunting tape
25 x Mini pegs
Sweets or chocolates to fill the stockings

To Make up:

1 Press the Panel and the lining fabric.

2 With the lining fabric rs(right side) down, place the stocking panel on top ws(wrong side) down. Pin.

3 Cut out all the stockings on the marked dotted line cutting through both the panel and the lining fabric, keep matching backs and fronts together.

4 Cut the ribbon into 25 x 4.5 inch lengths

5 With rs together pin a stocking front to its lining, also pin a stocking back to its lining.

Mini Christmas Stockings

I'm busy making the stocking Stuffer panel by Northcott. The panel has 25 mini Christmas stockings, both fronts and backs. You can use them to make advent calendar bunting or decorations, or you could use them as appliques.  The stockings measure approximately 3.5 inches from the top of the stocking to the heel and they are just so cute.

As I create I'm busy taking photos for a tutorial which will be coming soon....
In the meantime I'd better get back to the sewing machine or advent will be upon us and they won't all be finished!
