  Step 1

  This is my sadly shrunken jumper :'( RIP

  (notice the awesome rainbow socks!!) haha

• 

  Step 2

  Pin your stocking template onto the jumper. I pinned it right up in the corner so that I would have enough fabric left to make another one later on.

• Step 3

  You don't have to worry about cutting out two stocking shapes (if you're just making one stocking), because the jumper has a front + a back, so you automatically cut out two).

• 

  Step 4

  Make sure you had on seam allowance, and cut your two stocking shapes out!

• 

  Step 5

  Measure how long the top of your stocking is. Mine was around 7cm.

• 

  Step 6

  Now measure out a piece of felt that is exactly twice the size of the top of your stocking. As I said, the top of my stocking was 7cm, so the felt would be 14 cm.

  it can be any width, whatever you choose.

• 

  Step 7

  Stitch any little decorations onto the sleeve of the stocking. You can do it all along, but I only did it half way.

• 

  Step 8

  It looked a bit like this...

  And leave the sleeve to one side for the time being.

• 

  Step 9

  Now sew your two stocking pieces RIGHT SIDES together. Obviously, don't sew the top up, because you need to put your presents there!
  Because my fabric was so shrunken, I didn't need to hem the top because it didn't fray.
  It may be different in your case.

• Step 10

  Sew the sleeve onto the top of the stocking, and you're done!
  (I hand-sewed it, because it looked nicer, and it was less complicated than using the machine)

• 

  Step 11

  Here's it finished.
