I probably shouldn't post the ones I made a few years back, because I didn't keep the name of the pattern. (but I will post so it might also give you an idea) I had collected some tartans on a trip across Canada so used them as the scarves so we each have one with a little different design. I used a plush fur fabric left over from a snowman wall hanging made years ago for the rest of the stocking and they are lined. [ATTACH=CONFIG]419837[/ATTACH]

Could you just draw around a pattern you already have (allowing for seam) and cut it out of christmas fabric? You could use a coloring book to make templates to add a few shapes or some fabric is so pretty you don't have to do much. I think the one I made my grandbaby last year was just pretty christmas fabric and I put his name on the cuff. You will figure it out and I am sure it will be appreciated. Anything handmade is special. Good luck. Show us a picture when you finish.

A preprinted stocking fabric is the pattern I use for Christmas stockings. Cut the stocking backing fabric larger than you need, piece the stocking front, quilt, embellish, quilt then trim to the corect size.

Look at childerns coloring books, here dollar stores have cheap ones and you can make all kinds of neat patterns with pictures, they are usually simple enough for applique.

My favorite way to find Christmas pics to add to stockings or wall hangings is to use coloring books. The pictures are usually the right size, just an outline and can be used for an applique pattern as well.

I made very simple quilt as you go strip quilted stockings for the great nieces and nephews last year. Just cut stocking shape out of fleece or thin batting and did random strip quilting by the stitch and flip method and added cuffs. All were slightly different and many incorporated some of their great-grandmother's fabrics scraps too. I quilted both sides of the stockings and cut the batting slightly larger than I wanted and cut to size after piecing,

I would use the same pattern you used before for the shape of the stocking (assuming you're pleased with it). Then you can piece fabrics so that they cover the surface of that pattern, using whatever pattern you want, or quilt your own fabric with any pattern you want. You can embellish it with applique or anything else that you like.
