I thought I would share with you photos of 2 stockings I did for my family in Australia. I looked at your blog for ideas on how to finish them but I ended up trying a different approach. I followed a Pinterest post on sewing a lined stocking. I also chose to put batting in the back section to give it more body. My steps were:
1 I steamed as usual and zigzagged edges. I also made a second row of zigzag stitching around the ankle section so I could clip the edges.
2. I sewed the lining and front together at the top, right sides facing each other. I did the same for the back except that I also added the batting to one of the back pieces.
3. I spread the 2 pieces out and pinned them, right sides together. The hanger was pinned in the appropriate spot.
4. I sewed them, stitching very close to the hooking, using a regular stitching foot ( I had tried a zipper foot before but I couldn’t get close enough). I left a 4 “ opening on the sole of the foot.
5. I pulled the right sides through the opening. I hooked a few extra sections where I didn’t get close enough with the stitching. There weren’t many spaces. I couldn’t use a hoop but it wasn’t difficult.
6. I pushed the lining in, hand sewed the opening and steamed again.
I was very pleased with the finished stockings.
Thanks for the great patterns.
