Find out how to keep your felt Christmas stockings look beautiful for many years, so you can enjoy them every holiday from now on, for years to come.

You probably already tried to stitch a felt applique stocking until now, so you know what a tedious work it is, and that it takes many hours to cut out and stitch all those pieces. Of course, the outcome of all your work is a beautiful masterpiece that will be appreciated by the owner, and that’s why it is important to know how to take care of it so that it can be enjoyed for many holidays.

First thing you should know is how to store it properly. A felt Christmas stocking should be stored flat, wrapped in several layers of paper (preferable a white tissue paper), and don’t let any sunlight get to it. I suggest preparing a special storage box just for Christmas stockings, and put extra tissue paper between each stocking, this way you will prevent the beads from crushing.

The Bucilla’s instructions that come with the kits state that you can wash their stockings in cool water, at 86F, and you can use some mild dish washing liquid. But be careful and wash them gently, so you don’t twist or wring them. Never use bleach or fine washables detergent, and always dry them flat. Don’t throw them in the drier, or have them dry cleaned. I recommend only washing them as a last resort, if it really is necessary.

I guess that the stocking will be for your child, so if this is the case, don’t let them play with it too much because the synthetic felt has a tendency to pill. This doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t use it and hold it as their special Christmas stocking, but try to keep them from playing with it or use it as a hat every day of December.
One last thing you can do for your special felt Christmas stockings is sewing a lining for them. This is very simple to do and it will worth the work put into it. The benefit of a lining is an added strength as well as a professional touch to the felt stocking. You can choose polyester satin for the lining, this way you avoid adding too much bulk.

If you follow these simple tips and care for your felt Christmas stockings, then you can enjoy them for many years from now on.

Learning how to sew a Christmas stocking is something you should do if you want to make your own Christmas stockings for this year.

And let’s face it, creating your own Christmas stockings, and making them with your own hands gives you a great feeling, especially when they are appreciated by the kids and the entire family.

I always loved the Christmas stockings made by my grandmother and, later, by my mom (after she learned how to sew them from grandma)

Before you get started with sewing the stockings, you need to make sure you have all the materials you need. Usually, if you buy a Christmas stocking kit online, they come with all the accessories and materials, so you don’t have to worry about anything, but it doesn’t hurt to check.

Accordingly to the pattern you use, you should need about 1/2 yard of fabric for the main body, a quarter yard of fabric for the top of the stocking and another 1/4 yard of lining fabric to compliment the top of the stocking.

In addition you will need thread to match both fabrics, a print out of the pattern and, optional, appliqués and embellishments to taste.

Next you should have the pattern ready, cut out on a piece of paper, and then place it on top of the fabric  and cut the piece of fabric, following the line of the pattern.

Next part is sewing the pieces of fabric together, and for this purpose I recommend watching the video below which will show you exactly how to do this. It would be difficult to tell you in words how to do this, and it is known that seeing makes it easier to learn.

I repeat, if you purchased a Christmas stocking kit online, all of these are provided to you (the pattern, the right amount of fabric, all the accessories, appliqués and embellishments) and all you need to do is put them all together.

So please, watch the video carefully and you will learn how to sew Christmas stockings.

If you buy Bucilla Christmas Stocking Kits, you have to know the wonderful history behind the Christmas Stockings.

There are several stories that have been told for decades, and are believed to be true, and each and every one of them is trying to tell the legend of how the Christmas stockings tradition started.

In our days, hanging Christmas stockings is one of the favorite traditions of all the children around the world, who eagerly wait for St Nicholas to fill their stockings full of gifts. They would decorate their stockings and try to make them as beautiful as possible, and then hang them by the fireplace.

The origin of Christmas Stockings is dated many centuries ago, and it starts by telling us of a poor man who lived in a village. This man had three wonderful daughters, and after his wife died, he was left to raise them alone.

Because he spent all his money trying to cure his wife, there were no more money left to marry his girls, and in those times nobody would marry a girl if she didn’t have any money.

The three daughters were known for their kindness and wiliness, and this would worry their father even more, as he was didn’t know what will happen to them after he will die.

But one day, St. Nicholas passed through that village and heard from some of the villagers about the rough condition of the three girls. He wanted to help the poor father, but he knew that the man wouldn’t accept any kind of help.

So St. Nicholas decided to help him quietly, so nobody would find out. He waited until it was dark outside, and sneaked into his house through the chimney. He had three bags of golden coins with him, one for each girl. After he got into the house, as he was looking for a place to put the three bags of coins, he saw the stockings of the three girls hanging over the mantelpiece to dry.

So he took the bags full of coins and put each bag in each stocking and then he disappeared.

The next morning, when the father and his daughters woke up, they were thrilled to see the bags of gold coins in the stockings. He now had enough money to marry his daughters, one after another, and to see them happy for the rest of their life.

The story about the generosity of St. Nicholas spread very quickly amongst the villagers, and soon all over the land.

Since then, it has remained a tradition to hang stockings on Christmas so St. Nicholas would come and bring gifts.
