Grab your stocking amongst its correct side out, insert the operate yesteryear part, fur pointing down. Line the seam on the cuff amongst the "heel" purpose of the stocking.

Don't forget to attach a field of ribbon or fabric, mine was 7" long.  Fold it, as well as insert it folded side downward inward betwixt the "heel" side of the stocking as well as the cuff.

Once y'all stitch it, it's going to hold back similar this:

Bring it out:
