Imagine this. You step outside on a frosty December morning with a basket of tiny stockings you made the night before. Each one has a clear peekaboo window filled with candies or homemade goodies.
As you tuck a stocking onto a neighbor’s doorknob, you cannot help but smile. It is fun. It is thoughtful. It is something they will remember.

There’s something special about sharing a small treat with friends and neighbors during the holiday season. It does not need to be fancy.
Sometimes the sweetest gifts are the simple ones made with our own hands. That is where a little peekaboo stocking treat bag comes in. It is a quick project that feels festive the moment you start stitching.
Sewing these mini stockings is an easy way to slow down and enjoy the season. A few scraps of fabric turn into gifts that bring cheer wherever they go.

How to Sew A Peekaboo Stocking
Materials Needed
- Peekaboo Stocking Sewing Pattern - download at the end of the post, look for the peach colored button
- 1/4 yard cotton fabric - I get my holiday fabric from Fat Quarter Shop
- 1" grosgrain ribbon
- Clear vinyl
- Thread
Step 1
Stitch the optional ribbon across the top of the stocking. Stitch ribbon on both the front and the back of the stocking.
Step 2
Trim out the circle on the front of the stocking piece. Place a square of clear vinyl fabric behind the stocking and pin in place. Keep the tissue in place to help sew easier.
Step 3
Stitch around the circle on the clear vinyl.
Press the stitching carefully. Make sure to cover the vinyl with fabric before placing under an iron.
Step 5
Place one of the main stocking pieces right side up on a flat surface. Place the side with right side down and pin. Stitch around the stocking leaving the top open.
Step 6
Clip and notch around the curve of the stocking toe.
Step 7
Turn the top of the stocking to the inside and press. Stitch around the stocking to finish the hem.
Now fill the stocking with some yummy treats. Use some ribbon to close the stocking for sharing.
