how to make a stocking for christmas

To make a stocking for Christmas, you will need a piece of fabric or felt that is approximately 20 inches wide and 12 inches tall. Cut out two identical pieces of fabric, then sew them together along three sides, leaving the top open. Turn the stocking right side out and fold the top edge down to form a cuff. Use a needle and thread to sew a loop of fabric or ribbon onto the top of the cuff, so you can hang it up on your mantle. You can also decorate the stocking with felt or fabric scraps, buttons, or other embellishments.
