The stockings are hung, and Christmas is just around the corner! “By the Chimney Mini” wall hanging turns favorite scraps into twelve merry little stockings, each mixed and matched with a personality all its own. Play with prints, use up treasured bits and pieces, and stitch a wall hanging filled with that wonderful almost-Christmas kind of magic.

Pattern Tidbits

These stockings are teeny, but I consider them advanced beginner. The stocking hanger piece is skinny, but not too challenging. My biggest tip for these little stocking blocks is to trin each block at the end before sewing into the columns – just to make sure they all end up a uniform size.

MATERIALS

I’ve used Peppermint Cocoa fabric for this one, and it’s my favorite version yet! Here’s what you’ll need to make it.
