A $1 Store Christmas Stocking with a new do!
1. Start with a 2-2 1/2" strip of fabric and something like this cookie cutter for a template 
2. Trace a half circle onto the fabric using the cookie cutter, cut out. 
3. Sew 1/4" seam around the curved part of the half circle. Trim seam and clip curves. Turn right side out and press. 
4. Get your $1 Store Stocking,,, 
5. Use a seam ripper and remove the white cuff. (easy peasy) 
6. Using the cuff removed from the stocking as a pattern, cut 2 pieces of white fabric, the same size. Pin your scallops, overlapping each one a bit, to one piece along the long edge of the white fabric. {leave 1/4" space at each end} 
7. Baste to the edge, just to keep the scallops in place. 
8. Now sew the two pieces of white fabric, right sides together. Leave a small opening on opposite side of scallops, for turning. 
9. Turn right side out, press. Then sew ends together, making a tube.
10. Place tube in stocking, right side of tube to wrong side of stocking. {place seam on outside edge of stocking} Sew tube to stocking along top edge with 1/4" seam. Flip tube to outside of stocking and carefully press.

I made two...they are on my blog: www.katiejpbishop.blogspot.com. Awesome pattern!
I know i am a bit late at posting this but i was just going through some of my "saved" things and when i looked at this again, the picture of just the cuff and the edgeing reminded me of a cuff on a pillowcase.! How cute would that be!?!
