Christmas Ninja Stocking

'This is one of my first Christmases in my own place, and I've had to make do with a lot of necessities (thank goodness, no pizza box chairs, though!)

Far too close to Christmas, I realized I didn't have a stocking to hang. So I decided to make my own.
I only had black fabric, so it's my ninja stocking.

For this instructable, you'll need to know the following terms:

right side: the decorative or nice-looking side of a fabric. If your fabric is the same on both sides, you're very lucky.

wrong side: the ugly side of a fabric. You'll be seeing a lot of this side soon!

Step 1 Materials

Unless you want to stitch by hand, I highly recommend having a sewing machine!
Stocking fabric
Fabric trim (for the top and loop)
Lots of pins
Scissors
Matching thread
Tape measure or ruler
Paper and Pencil

Optional materials:
Lining fabric--for a more professional look
Backing fabric--necessary if you use a stretchy fabric for your stocking.
Hand needle
Chalk--it just makes life easier
Decorative cord or other decorations

How is it ninja?

[inkstainedheart]

I was going to put ninja eyes on it originally...I might still add them.

[bigbrosrule]

Oh. That sounds cool! Hope it turns out well!

But if it's a ninja stocking, how will Santa find it?

[bowmaster]

His elves will tell him. They are watching you.

Santa is one of the greatest ninjas of all-time. Obviously, that's how he's able to deliver all those toys in one night.

[inkstainedheart]

So THAT'S why it was empty Christmas morning. I'll have to work on that.

That sewing machine is SWEET!

[inkstainedheart]

Thanks! It's a refurbished model from Ebay.

Consider your ninja stocking as now being ninja approved! Well done, I'm going to start working on mine right now.
