Jacob’s Ladder Christmas Stocking Kit – Liberty Fabric

This Jacob’s Ladder Stocking kit will be a welcome sight of Liberty Fabric on Christmas morning – and that’s with or without all of the sweets and gifts inside! A classic design, it will look stunning set with both more modern or traditional festive decor.This stocking would be a great handmade gift for loved ones this Christmas.

The patchwork block used is called ‘Jacob’s Ladder’ and is constructed using basic sewing and quilting techniques with the sewing machine.The block has a strong sense of direction and movement thanks to the bold diagonal design and was traditionally made using only two colours, one light and one dark, for great contrast. Here, the red and green are similarly dark to provide contrast with the ivory and make this block feel as festive as can be.The quilting is simple lines completed by hand or machine and metallic threads could be used for added sparkle.You could even personalise the stocking with a name for an extra special touch, the choice is yours!
