Cozy Christmas Sew Along - Week Six - Block Six!!

Good morning cute people!

Today we are almost halfway through our 

Cozy Christmas Sew Along:)

But even though we are

 already halfway into this...

it's super easy if 

you are just starting now:)

First you will 

need the free pattern:

CLICK HERE 

to download it

Then you will need the 

Cozy Christmas 

Sew Simple Shapes

CLICK HERE 

to get a them:)

We are using 

Cozy Christmas fabric 

to make the quilt...

you can check with your

 favorite quilt shop 

to purchase the kit!

I took this screen shot 

on my iPhone to show you 

the right side bar of my blog roll.

You can see that I have 

each week of our sew along 

to click on and view

 so that you won't miss anything!

Each weeks tutorial 

will remain on my blog 

and I will keep adding 

each week as we go along.

Simply scroll down and 

click on the week 

that you would like to view.

Obviously you are 

on my blog right now...

and if you look to the right 

and cannot sew the right sidebar...

 that means you are 

using your cell phone

 and will need to scroll down

 and click on

"view web version"

Okay! 

With all of that being said...

Let's get started with block six!

#CozyStockingBlock

Here are my fabric choices

 for the appliqués:)

CLICK HERE 

to download the 

cutting guide 

for each shape...

And cut your fabric 

and interfacing.

Cut a 5" long piece of 

ric-rac for the stocking trim.

I'm using the mint and pink 

little bells print

 for the border on this block:)

Trace all of your shapes 

onto the interfacing.

Measure in 3/4" from the 

bottom of the stocking cuff 

and mark a line.

Top stitch the ric-rac 

into place on the line

 before you sew the 

interfacing and fabric together.

Stitch on your marked lines and

 trim an approximate

 1/4" seam allowance.

For the stocking piece...

 I left the top open for turning 

since the raw edge will be

 tucked underneath the cuff.

Cut an "X" in the interfacing on

 the other 3 pieces for turning:)

Clip the inside curve in the 

stocking seam allowance 

so that when you turn it 

right side out 

through the top opening...

it will lie flat after 

shaping and pressing...

Like this:)

Place your stocking 

onto the background 

by measuring 3/4" 

up from the bottom...

And 1 1/2" from the

 right side edge.

Now place the cuff by

 measuring 3/4" 

down from the top edge.

Place the heel and toe pieces 

over the stocking 

and pin into place for appliqué.

After applique...

embroider the hanging loop!

I used all 6 strands and 

a backstitch...and my 

Aurifloss 

 for matching the colors:) 

After embroidery...

sew the little bells inner border:)

Then sew and layout your flying geese and 

half square triangles to form 

the pieced star border!

I just love pieced 

scrappy borders...don't you?

And now your 

#CozyStockingBlock

is complete and ready 

to add to your quilt.

You can of course...

sew the two top rows together now 

or save that until we are finished

 with all of the blocks.

This is sew fun!
