The ruffle festive stocking has a playful design with a full gathered ruffle around the top. The stocking is also fully lined and has a loop to hang from. It is sturdy enough to hold its own shape whilst hanging and is roomy enough to hold gifts- everything you want from a stocking!

The stocking works well in a medium-weight fabric that holds its shape well but is not too thick or bulky.

This project is for beginner sewers and upwards. It includes: topstitching; gathers; and stitching in the ditch. Check out our other sewing patterns here.

The pattern is an instant PDF download that you print. You will get two pattern files: one to print at home on A4 paper; and another to print on a single sheet of A1 paper at a print shop/copy shop. You will also get a detailed instructions file, which has detailed step-by-step instructions on how to print the pattern, lay out the pattern, cut the fabric and sew the project. Moreover, we include: a glossary; a detailed fabric guide.

This pattern is not for commercial use. It is not to be resold, duplicated or shared and it is for your personal use only. Items made using this pattern are also only for your personal use and must not be sold.

With this purchase you will be able to download the files up to 5 times over 30 days, therefore please download the files within this time period.

You will need

• Medium-weight, woven (not stretchy!) fabric for the stocking. For sustainable options, look for organic cotton, hemp, linen or recycled fabric.
• Lightweight lining.
• Matching thread.
• Hand stitching needle.
• Sewing machine.
• Fabric scissors.
• Pins.
• Iron.
• A method of printing the pattern.

Printing instructions

For A4 printing, align your printer before printing. Print the pattern with no scaling (this may be listed as ‘actual size’ or ‘100%’).

There is a 1cm test square on page 1 to check you have printed it out correctly. After printing, lay out the pages referring to the codes in the pink circles (numbers refer to rows and letters to columns), butting the edges up together. Do not overlap or cut the paper; instead stick the pages together using tape. There may be a small unprinted margin at the edges of your pages; this is normal and we have made sure not to place information or intricate parts of the pattern here.

SUSTAINABLE

Organic cotton is grown without the use of hazardous and costly pesticides and instead makes use of natural and less invasive techniques that work holistically, for the long-term benefit of people and the planet. These include pheromone traps, crop rotation, hand picking of bugs and natural repellents. They also do not rely on fossil-fuel based fertilisers but instead work to build healthy soil, e.g. through composting. By doing this, organic cotton emits up to 46% less greenhouse gas than non-organic.
Healthy soils also retain more water, meaning that many farmers can rely on rain water alone, saving precious water supplies for the local communities.
Organic farmers also grow food and keep animals, providing them with a stable source of food and diversified income. In addition to this, they receive more for their crop, the input costs are lower and the fabrics will be pesticide free!

We also package our products in recycled paper and both reusable and compostable mailbags.

A great resource on sustainable fashion is the Fashion Revolution, including information on what to consider when choosing where and what to buy. For example, which fabrics should you look for and which brands are making efforts to make their supply chains more transparent and ethical.

As a brand that value sustainability, we strive to post informative content on sustainable matters on our Instagram account @fordandguy
