Cut the pattern. You should have two outer fabric pieces, two lining pieces, two interlock or cotton pieces, as well as a storage loop piece. Cut 3” strips from the rest of your fabric, from crockery to crockery. These will be for your flyers. You should have approximately six to seven 3" strips.

Place a piece of interfacing/cotton batting on the wrong side of your lining piece. Foundation stitching around outer edges to secure. Repeat for the other interlock/cotton piece and the lining piece.

Fold the stocking loop, right sides together, so that the long side edges meet. Sew along the outer edge. You will now have a tube of fabric. Attach a safety pin to the bottom edge of the fabric tube. Gently pull the safety pin through the inside of the fabric tube, pulling the fabric out. Use an iron to press flat.

Fold the tube of fabric so the raw ends meet, creating a small loop. Place the raw ends of your loop along the top raw edge of a stocking liner, toward the back of the stocking. Pin it in place and glue to secure.

Place the two stocking liner pieces together and sew along the outside edges. Leave a 4" to 5" opening along the bottom of the foot (this will be for turning the sock right side out later). Do not sew the top of the stocking, just the sides.

Now we are going to create the ruffles. There are a couple of different ways to do this.
Jess Abbott
The easiest way is to use a flying foot. A ruffle foot is an accessory that slips onto your sewing machine and will create rows of ruffles in minutes. Usually this is a foot you will need to purchase as it is not a standard foot. No steering wheel foot? No problem, go to the next step.
Jess Abbott
To make ruffles with your standard sewing machine foot, take each ruffle strip and sew a line of basting stitches along the top long edge. The longer the stitch, the better. My machine goes up to a stitch length of level 5 and it works great. Do not lock the stitch back and forth at the ends when sewing these basting stitches. Gently pull on the bobbin thread at each end of the flywheel. Push the fabric to the center while pulling the thread, picking it up gently. Separe la tela lo más uniformemente posible a lo largo del volante. Repita estos pasos para todas las tiras de volantes.
Tome una pieza de patrón exterior de media, y comience a colocar los volantes en la parte superior, fijándolos en su lugar a lo largo de la parte superior del borde del volante a medida que avanza. Comience en la parte inferior de la media y vaya subiendo.

Cosa los volantes en la media usando una puntada en zigzag en su máquina de coser. Superponer cada uno de los bordes superiores recogidos del volante.

Continúa estos pasos hasta que llegues a la parte superior de tu almacenamiento.

Coloque la otra pieza de media exterior en la pieza de volante, los lados derechos juntos. Coser alrededor de los bordes exteriores. No coser la parte superior de la media. Recorte los volantes alrededor del borde exterior para dejar el margen de costura.
Jess Abbott
Gire la media hacia la derecha. Use su mano para empujar suavemente todos los bordes hacia afuera dentro de la media.

Deslice el forro alrededor de la parte exterior de la media de volantes, para que queden a ambos lados juntos. Empareja las costuras laterales a lo largo del borde superior. Pin juntos y coser alrededor del borde superior. Gire la media hacia la derecha a través de la abertura inferior de la media de su forro en el pie. Coser la abertura cerrada y empujar el forro dentro de la media de volantes.
Una vez que el revestimiento está en su lugar, ¡listo! Tienes una fabulosa decoración con volantes que todos adorarán en esta temporada navideña. Se verá genial con arpillera, rojos profundos y verdes, y, por supuesto, toda su decoración de bricolaje..
