Carefully cut out around the edges of the pattern piece with fabric scissors. Remove the pins and pattern piece and set aside. Step 3: Repeat the same method with the other piece of fabric.

Then place a top piece print side down and a lining piece print side up. Pin all of the layers together. Step 6: Sew around the edges of the stocking using a generous 1/4" seam allowance. Take out the pins as you go. Step 7: Sew down the short open side of the felt piece using a 1/4" seam. Step 8: With pinking shears, carefully cut around the edge of the stocking seam, making sure NOT to cut into any of the stitching. Step 9: Open the felt cuff and slip it over the top of the stocking. Position the cuff so that the edges meet with the top of the stocking. Step 10: Fold ribbon in half and insert it underneath the felt on the outer edge of the stocking. Pin the ribbon and cuff in place. Step 11: Slowly sew the cuff onto the stocking, taking the pins out as you go. Step 12: Turn the stocking right way out, open out the seams and fold down the cuff.
