Stockings are easy to make, if you sew at all, so I’ll just give some simple ideas. First, make a template of your size and style. I just did a basic shape.
Cut out your fabric. Decide a basic design theme before you sew the two sides together. Decorate the front of the stocking. I did a button initial on this one.
Then I sewed it to the front of the stocking with a decorative stitch.
Finish your decorating and sew the two sides together and zigzag the edges. Next step is the cuff. Using the original pattern, decide the cuff style and cut to fit the pattern. Sew side seams together and turn right side out.
Now, turn the stocking inside out, pin the
cuff, RIGHT side down, and sew on. 
Turn the whole thing right side out, and voila!! A beautiful stocking! Finish decorating to your hearts content! This glue is great.
Here are my finished stockings.Get sewing, I’d love to see what you’ve come up with!

Cute stockings! I like how each one is so personalized.
I want to make some, but I think my sewing skills are a bit limited. :)
These would make a great gift too!
I love these! So much nicer than the fuzzy red ones we have now. My granddaughter mentioned wanting a new stocking (not sure why, she has at least 3 already!) .. maybe I'll do this for grandma and grandpas house next year.
I got to use some upholstery fabrics that wouldn't make good bags, so it worked out great!
