If you wish to hand sew your stocking you will need a hand sewing needle and a quilter's ruler to mark your seam widths. We sell a 4.5" Quilter’s Square Ruler which is perfect for marking seam widths on your fabric pieces.

In my house growing up, everyone had a stocking on Christmas morning. Stuffed with little presents, satsumas, sugar mice and chocolate coins, they helped kick the festivities off on Christmas Day (and also keep the kids occupied whilst coffee is being made). If I'm hosting Christmas I still make sure everyone has a stocking, including guests. Fully lined and finished with French seams, they are sturdy enough to be used for years to come and passed on to the next generation.
