They are lined with batting in between the fabric and lining and the names are embroidered in chain stitch. The edges of the cuffs are done in satin stitch and clipped close to the stitching. I never really intended it but they've all ended up in a shade of red!! I think they look really nice all together and our little stocking family is complete. :-)
Christmas stocking are something that you can make for anyone including those special boys in your life. I used an old McCall's pattern for these stockings so I can't post a pattern online but here's a few links to some great stocking tutorials if you'd like to make some yourself.
- Tip Junkie's list of stocking tutorials
- Fabric Worm's stocking tutorial
- Prudent Baby's stocking tutorial
- Sew Like My Mum's stocking tutorial
That should be enough to get you going and give you some great ideas. Happy stocking sewing!!
***UPDATE: Here is a pic of the pattern I used just in case anyone is interested in tracking it down. You can often find it available online second hand. :-)***
