One of my goals right now is use my ridiculous stash to make more quilts to give away. This simple checkerboard pink and white patchwork quilt is a super easy-stashbuster. This is a great beginner-friendly quilt and also great for using 5" x 5" precuts (or Charm Packs.) It was also the perfect do-able project to get my creativity flowing again.
I cut all of these squares 5" x 5" - perfect for left over charm square precuts too. I cut 49 pink 5" x 5" squares and 50 white 5" x 5" squares. I laid them out in rows of 9 across by 11 rows down for a 40.5" x 49.5" finish. (You can keep adding more rows to make it as big as you like.)

If you'd like to make your own, I've got a really simple tutorial that walks you through all of the steps for sewing together a simple patchwork quilt. (This project is beginner-friendly!)
This quilt is a gift for a friend who just had her first baby girl after a bunch of boys. (Hence, all the pink!) I did add a touch of navy for the binding using this cute navy and pink floral from the Edie Jane collection by Deena Rutter.
Here it is prewashed and ready to deliver. (The majority of the time, I like to prewash baby quilts just to make sure there are no issues before I gift it. I also like that it gives it a pre-shrunk, softer, antique feel and hopefully encourages people to actually use it.)
What a sweet gift, Amy, and congratulations to your friend! Pine Hollow QAL? Oh how I would LOVE to be able to quilt along!!! Alas, I have too much on my quilter's plate to add more before the Holidays. :o((
I am so far behind on my current projects that a QAL will be impossible for me right now. NEVERTHELESS, I'm so excited about the Pine Hollows QAL! I will save every email, every tutorial, every hint or tip - and completely finish this quilt for next year. And, then I will feel like I've conquered the world because the quilt will be done in advance of the holiday! Thank you so much for doing this!
I made a quilt using the pattern last time you posted this. I used some left over Lori Holt charm squares mixed with some of her Cozy Christmas charms and was able to get more Cozy Christmas fabric for a border. I doubled my batting to make it puffy and sent it off to my brother's family in Colorado. Thank you for the inspiration!!
Thank you for this simply beautiful quilt pattern. I make a LOT of baby quilts and send them far and wide, first baby, eighth baby--you're getting a quilt. I often use an aqua colorway as that can be used for boy or girl. But I am so happy to add this pink sweetie to my gifting stash.
Hi. Evernote isn't designed for any specific task, but it's easy enough to create a template for a specific type of note like a diary, or a recipe, or a meeting note - and to copy that note each time you need to create another note in the same format. There may be some options on the web if you search for them...
Evernote featured a "My Journal" function or feature that did just what you described: open up with a blank page with a date for an entry. all notes were kept by date. I used it till it got "dropped" and I even lost all my notes after support ended and new version wiped it out. SAD. I want it BACK.
Fabric requirements need to be enough fabric to cut two stocking shapes from two different fabrics. Fabric options I recommend include cotton and flannel as they'll give you more shape, but you could use polyester, wool, or other fabric if you want. These stockings probably aren't going to take a lot wear and tear, or need much (if any) machine washing.
For the small size stocking you will need an 11" x 14" piece of fabric for front and back outside pieces and another 11" x 14" piece for front and back lining pieces. 1 Fat Quarter would be enough for all four pieces, but they would all be the same.
With wrong sides together, cut TWO stocking shapes of both your outside fabric and your cuff/liner fabric. IMPORTANT: make sure your toe faces both directions for each fabric. (This is why matching wrong sides together will help you get pieces facing both directions.)
Now pair up one outside fabric with one lining/cuff fabric with the toes pointing the same direction like this. (See picture above.) Match the outside fabric and lining fabric from each set right sides together and sew a " seam along the top of the two pieces. Open pieces up and press seam open. Repeat for back side.
These mini handmade stockings are perfect for use as a small gift bag or festive gift card holder. (Fabric for these stocking includes Riley Blake Designs Wild at Heart collection, RBD Buffalo check flannel , Santa Claus Lane flannel candy canes, and Yuletide red plaid.
Unfold cuff again and take pinned loop to your sewing machine to stitch back and forth multiple times over the ends of the loop to secure them in place. Use a thread that matches the outside fabric of the stocking. (Although, once the cuff is refolded into place, it will most likely hide the stitching.
I suggest making a practice stocking just to see how it comes together and I guarantee each stocking you make after that will get faster and easier. This pattern is super beginner-friendly, and if you're already confident with a sewing machine, you could easily make a bunch in one afternoon.
Great tutorial. I will absolutely try out this one. I will have visitors from home coming this Christmas, for the first time since I moved abroad ten years ago. To make a pretty stocking for everyone to bring home feels like a great idea. Thanks for sharing. I am so happy I found your blog. You have helped me a lot getting into this wuilting and sewing world.
oh, and I did make a table runner just like yours, teh stripy one, for Christmas that I just blogged about. But I did the top layer seperate, didn't quilt it together at once. I was to scared to try it... Silly me. Next time I will.
What a great tutorial. Thank you SO much. I have a bunch of stockings I'm supposed to make and have been afraid to start because of the problems I've seen so many others have. I wanted to make really nice looking ones too with a lining so this is wonderful.
Have a wonderful holiday.
I love this! When it was posted on Ucreate it was stuck in my head all day until I could get to the machine to make one! I'm not sure if mine turned out as well as yours... mostly because my printer is shot so I just winged it and drew it out about the size yours looked! It still turned out pretty darn cute for just a few minutes worth of sewing! ?
This is a great tutorial, thanks! Emma, I too was trying to figure out where to sew the loop. I think I am going to sew them as is and then when they are finished I will sew a loop on with a button.

Great questions about the loop. The only way I've figured out to attatch a loop because of the fold down cuff, is so sew it right at the top of the lining after the stocking itself is completed. You should be able to hid the stitches on the outside underneath the fold down cuff.
I just came across this blog for this the other day. I am so happy to finally find an easier way of doing stockings. I do a lot of craft fairs my mine one is around this time of the year especially in November. I find these so beautiful. I am just wondering if I could add some ribbon for it to hang or make one of out of fabric.
Hi Amy, I've been making stockings similar to this to sell at a craft fair and lining them with calico. I stitch a piece of cuff fabric in between the outer piece and the lining piece. This also means I can add a hanging loop, by stitching the ends in between the cuff piece and the lining - I have the two halves of the stocking side by side to do this step, then flip them right sides together
Just had to tell you that I did a Pinterest search for Christmas stocking ideas today and smiled when your tutorial popped up -- I know that girl! ? Isn't it cool how these blog posts live out there on the Internet for years, continuing to inspire people? Thanks for yet another great tutorial.
This tutorial seriously saved my bacon! I was staring at my sewing machine trying to figure out how to line, and add a back to a cross stitched stocking front that a friend brought me, and I was at a total loss! Thanks so much!
The only way to do it with this construction method would be to insert the piping when you sew the seam between the two front and back pieces. But it will start and stop with the two side seams. If you want continual piping around the top, you'll need a different construction method.
Thanks so much for this. You're right, the more you make, the faster and easier it gets. I'm presently making as many of these as I can for a fundraiser for paying veterinary bills for those that cant afford emergency care. I attempted a few others that werent as good before deciding on this one. So, thank you! And Merry Christmas!
Hi Amy! I LOVE this tutorial! Thank you for sharing it with us all! My stocking came out perfect and is ADORABLE! I added a bit of fabric in a loop to hang it up, but when I do the liner lifts out of the shell a bit. Any suggestions for keeping the liner all the way down and in its rightful position? Thinking I'll have to hand stitch the seams together so its unnoticeable. Thanks!
This is so easy to follow. I don't particularly like watching tutorials on Youtube because the host talks so lengthily and it gets so boring that instead of finishing it you stop watching and make it on your own ( nevermind if it doesn't resemble like the one you really like. Thank you for this tutorial.
Late to the party, I've made a few of these stockings recently - but I think I'm doing something wrong with the first seam bit. When I turn my stockings right way out and turn the cuff down I have a rough edge. Quite the beginner here so can anyone post a pic of exactly how the seams should go - from front side and backside if possible. Im presuming that I have to overlap the material initially to sew together? Thanks. 152ee80cbc
