In this hands-on sewing class, you’ll create a beautifully lined, personalised Christmas stocking---a keepsake to treasure for years to come. With your tutor’s guidance, you’ll combine simple sewing and embroidery techniques to design, stitch and assemble a festive stocking that reflects your individual style.
You’ll learn how to choose and prepare fabrics, embroider your name or a festive message on soft felt, and sew your stocking together with a contrasting cuff, hanging loop, and optional decorative details such as an appliqué motif or a small bell.
Whether you’re new to sewing or an experienced maker, this relaxed workshop is a chance to slow down, enjoy the process, and make something special by hand. You’ll leave with a beautifully finished, fully lined Christmas stocking---a handmade heirloom to treasure or a heartfelt gift for someone you love.
Learning Outcomes:
  • Cut and prepare fabric pieces for your stocking
  • Use two hand embroidery techniques to personalise your design
  • Sew and assemble a lined stocking using a sewing machine
  • “Bag out” your project to create a clean, professional finish with no visible seams
  • Combine embroidery, appliqué, and sewing techniques in one festive project
Please wear closed-in shoes and bring your reading glasses if needed for detailed work.
What you'll get
  • All sewing machines and basic tools are provided.
  • Take home your pattern, so you can make more stockings for friends and family in the comfort of your own home.
Knowledge required
This course is suitable for confident beginners as well as those with some sewing or embroidery experience. You’ll be guided step-by-step through the process, with plenty of individual support along the way.
What to bring
A carefully curated kit is available for $35, which includes all materials to make a stocking similar to the sample shown in class. Please choose the add-on at checkout if you wish to purchase the kit.
