So, since ITS won't be opening in time for me to recieve a new pair of stockings for school, and Anna House doesn't offer them, I decided to make some. My mom is going to buy me fabric this weekend, and I've verily specified cotton white lace and cotton white fabric, in matching or very near matching shades. So that's all fine and dandy.

It's just, I've never made stockings before. Usually, I can get away improvising things I make, like headdresses and alice bows and throw pillows and whatnot, without a pattern, but for stockings, not so much. I'm going to need some help, preferably an easy to understand visual aid. Does anyone have any easy to understand patterns and/or visual aids? By the way, I sew by hand, due to lack of sewing machine.

Thanks~ heart

You can't sew socks/stockings from regular fabric, really, they're knit or woven into that shape. ^^;
Use the lace you have and then buy a pair of plain, solid-colored socks. This tutorial should help you out:

Oh I see. Dern, but I guess that would explain me not really being able to figure out really how the feet attached to the tube thing. ._. But thank you, I guess it's time to head to the mall and see if we can find some nice socks. Maybe I'll make some sort of head accessory out of that fabric instead. xP

Thanks sooo much for the link, by the way!! *muaah* :3
