Which way do Christmas stockings go?
I feel really stupid asking this question. Which way are Christmas stockings supposed to go? Does the toe point to the left or the right? I'm making some for a fair I'm in and realized that they go both ways, not sure if this is right. Some of the fabric I bought was kind of pricey and I want to use it only on the front of the stockings. Help?

I usually have my toes pointing to the left - as if they were going forward
|
I do them both ways when I did craft shows. When I dids mine for mantel I did 2 left 2 right. There really is no special way!
|
I have no idea for the reason but I always hang mine toes pointing to the left.
|
Mine go both ways. J J
|
I would make them both ways to surround my fireplace.
|
Toes pointing left seems natural to me.
|
I don't think there is a right or wrong direction and I, also, don't think it's a stupid question. My family's stockings go
both ways. I made some and purchased others. I really had never given it any thought before your post. I'm getting ready to order some from a catalog and they all point to the right. |
Why not put designs on both sides and it won't matter.

I agree there is no right or wrong way.
|
Don't think it matters ! I've seen them face left or right, sometimes towards each other too
|
I don't think it matters much. Have made them both ways. As long as they aren't empty on Christmas morning the recipients won't care either
|
Whichever way your heart desires! Pay no attention to "stocking police" ... lol.
|
Thanks everyone!

foot down - top up - and then I read the rest of the question - Perhaps you can find a coordinating fabric for the "other side" - and then either side would be "special" |

How do you figure? depends what direction you are going.
LOL. That's what I was thinking too! hahaaaa. This really has me giggling. |
I don't think it matters, but when I made 22 "Cowboy Boot" stockings a few years back they were all facing left.
|
Hmmm..that's something I have never given a thought, but for some reason I hang mine with toes pointing left, but feet can go in any direction. If in doubt that I think romanojg has the solution of putting designs on both sides.
|
Are you kidding? All that extra work (there's a chuckle here :-)) Mine favor the left, but what the heck, as long as Santa fills them to the brim!!!!!! Either way I'm sure is OK.
|
I don't think it really matters, BUT I like mine pointing left
