FREE Pet Christmas Stocking Tutorial Using the Chewy Pattern

 FREE  Pet Christmas Stocking Tutorial Using the Chewy Pattern

Some years ago, we found this adorable pet stocking pattern for cats and dogs. The only challenge was that the pattern came with no instructions at all. So we created this easy step-by-step video tutorial to help you follow along and make your own pet stocking.

Here are the written steps:

1. Print the pattern
   Go to this link and print out the pet stocking pattern:

2. Trace the pattern
   I recommend tracing it onto pattern-tracing material. This makes it easier to add a ½-inch seam allowance all the way around.
3. Fabric size
   The pattern piece measures 11 inches by 6½ inches. Use a double layer of fabric a few inches larger than the pattern so you have space to cut.
4. Cutting the fabric
   You can place the fabric pieces right sides together or wrong sides together to cut them out.
5. Sewing the stocking
   • Sew with right sides together.
   • If you don’t plan to decorate the stocking, sew all the way around.
   • If you do want to decorate it, sew only one side until you reach the heel.
   • Press the seams flat with an iron.
   • For Jessica’s stocking, we added lace, but you can decorate yours any way you like.
6. Clip the curves
   After sewing, clip around the curved areas so the stocking will turn smoothly.
   Be careful not to clip through the stitching.
   Turn the stocking right-side out and iron it flat.
7. Finishing touches
   • Add a loop for hanging; we used a cord.
   • Add a name label if you'd like to personalize it.
