Poinsettia Stocking

12/23/2012

Talk about last minute... here is my stocking and I am currently working on a stocking for my daughter, which I am guessing won't be done until Christmas Eve, if that. It may end up being just the front of the stocking with stuffers around it. Anyway, I would have waited until next year to post these for those of you who want to replicate the idea, but I wanted to get it posted before I forgot the details. Plus, I figured the techniques I employed could be used for other applications.

Materials:
* Felt
* Thin fabric like muslin if your felt/background fabric is especially stretchy
* Clear thread
* Pattern UNCHECK the fit to page box (The actual stocking needs to be pieced together) (Also, both cuffs are included in this pattern)
* Shiny Red Beads (I found mine at Walmart in a dollar bin)

Start by cutting all but the poinsettia petals from your fabric

Poinsettias:
* Cut 37 poinsettia petals (I outlined mine with a red ball point pen then cut them out purposely leaving the outline)
* Arrange petals as shown, then using a ruler, line them up and pin to the sock
* Sew straight lines
* By hand, pull a needle and thread up through the back near an end of one petal, in the center as shown
* Go from front to back near where the curve meets the straight part of the petal
* Go from back to front on the other side of the petal in the same place and pull your needle all the way through the other side of the petal
* Pull needle down from topside to underside of sock where you firs came up
* Do this on all petal ends and when traveling to petals ends that are further away, go through the top layer of the fabric so the thread doesn't get caught when you stuff the stocking
* Sew the beads to the ends of the petals, putting one at each end and one in the center

For the remainder of the stocking, follow the directions for the Origami Stocking
