Whether you are making a rag stocking for a Pink Slipper challenge, or using it for your own holiday decor, I think you'll agree that the rag stocking is super easy to make and super cute.
Start with your favorite stocking pattern or sketch a simple stocking pattern. Ours is 21" from cuff to toe and 17 1/2 " from cuff to heel. (unfinished) 19 1/2" - 15" (Finished)
CUT 2 - Primary Fabric
CUT 2 - Coordinating Lining Fabric
CUT 2 - Batting
Once all pieces are cut, layer as shown. You'll have 2 identical sections, each containing 3 layers. Make sure that your primary and your lining fabric are facing out. You will not be turning after stitching.
Stitch across the top of each 3-part section - 3/4 " from the upper edge. This will give you your guide for ragging the cuff.
Fold 2 1/2" contrasting cuff to the outside. Pin both 3-part sections together - cuff to the outside. Start Stitching at upper corner of cuff - 3/4 " from the edge. Stitch around the entire stocking.
Clip edges, almost up to seam - approx. 1/2" between each clip. Fluff with fingers when clipping is completed.
Stitch on a small length of ribbon at upper cuff for hanging the stocking.
