Figure Skating Stocking Tutorial

I made this cute ice skate stocking for Christmas using this tutorial. Even though it's a stocking, it's great to make any time during the winter months.

1.) To make it,  I used the basic stocking pattern (found on the tutorial) to cut a boot shape out of black and white felt and the blades out of gray felt. I didn't have any fleece so I just used black felt on the inside with white felt on the outside.

Using white floss, I whipstitched the stocking together around the edges with the top edges unsewn. You're supposed to just fold down the top to make a cuff but I ended up sewing that on with black floss to hold it better.



I didn't do all the decorations suggested in the tutorials, but I added some of my own. I used sequins on the blade and for the holes for the laces. To make the holes, I made four small circles out of sequins. Then I laced black floss through them to make them look like laces. And that's it! You can write or sew a name on top if you want.



I like how my ice skating stocking came out. It wasn't too hard to make and it's great to have a unique, fun stocking.
