Winter Door Sock Project

Dear Readers,

Create this Winter Door Sock for your door this winter. See below for project instructions on how to make this project.


	Materials: Winter Scene Door Sock designs Polyester Fiberfill Sewing Machine Matching Fabric Thread Hand Needles Cutaway Backing Scissors Fabric* *Fabric size: 1 piece - 36 ½” wide x high enough to hoop (must be at least 5 ½” high, this will be the top embroidered piece) 1 piece - sized 36 ½” wide x 5 ½” wide (this will be the back piece)

Step 1: Measure the top piece of fabric 36 ½” wide x 5 ½” high, marking the center point. (Do not cut yet.) Draw a straight line from one side of the fabric to the other so that you can easily line up each individual design when embroidering. Make sure there is 2 ¾” of fabric both above and below the line.

Step 2: Hoop the fabric with one piece of cutaway backing and embroider the center design first. In the image below we are embroidering the Door Sock Bear Scene Large – CD110712TC.

Step 3: Remove the fabric from the hoop. Select a design to place next and check the size. Now mark the center point on the line of where you would like the next design to be placed.

Step 4: Embroider the design then repeat Step 3 & 4 until all designs have been embroidered.

Step 5: Remove the fabric from the hoop and gently cut away all excess backing.

Step 6: Now you can measure and mark the fabric piece so it is 36 ½” wide x 5 ½” high.

Step 7: Cut away the excess fabric.

Step 8: Now you should have the top embroidered piece of fabric and the back piece of fabric, both the same size.

Step 9: Place right side of both fabrics pieces together. Sew a ¼” hem along the 2 long sides and one short side together, leaving one side open.

Step 10: Cut the corners at an angle after you have your hem for the finished sides. This will help form the corners better.

Step 11: Turn right side out.

Step 12: Stuff the polyester fiberfill inside the door sock.

Step 13: Once you have the sock stuffed, pin the open end closed and hand stitch closed.
