Christmas Stocking Banner ITH Project

You can make this too! This versatile in-the-hoop project is a fast and cute way to decorate your home for Christmas. After stitching out, simply thread ribbon through the eyelets and either string together as a banner or use them individually as gift tags or tree decorations. You can add letters from your embroidery machine to personalize if desired!

This is a quick and easy two-sided banner all done in the hoop with step-by-step instructions to guide you. You are hooping stabilizer only, appliqueing your fabric and font (if desired) over the top, applying backing fabric behind your hoop, finishing the edges and eyelet(s) and trimming away the stabilizer. The banner pieces slide onto ribbon or cord.

You receive 3 VARIATIONS in 3 sizes each:
– Elf Stocking features a cheeky pointed cuff.
– Santa Stocking is a very traditional shape so have fun using minky fabric on the cuff.
– Jester Stocking features a gorgeous scalloped cuff with a cute curled toe.

IDEAS:
– Stitch out and then hand-embellish by adding buttons, spangles, ric rac etc. Use your glue gun if you are not fond of handsewing.
– Use as coordinated tree decorations and gift tags.
– Mix up different sizes on the one banner.
