How do you figure? depends what direction you are going.

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.

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?

My first reaction was -
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"

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.
