From Clara’s workroom
See Clara’s hand embroidery up close.
Clara’s pomegranate measures 3¼ inches square. These photographs show the crimson thread, gold leaves, and raised center up close. Clara teaches this pomegranate step by step in her free live class on December 5.
The actual ES sewing pattern
Choose your size before you cut.
The ES pattern is an 11-page, US Letter PDF with a 13¼-inch full-size stocking, a 6-inch mini, a printing map, and illustrated sewing instructions. Below are actual pattern pages and stills from the two construction videos.
The videos show how to sew the plain stocking, and the finished sewing video will be ready shortly. Clara’s pomegranate is a separate hand-embroidery step that Clara teaches in her free live class.
What you’ll receive, free
Pattern, class, and video. Every step in order.
When the video is ready, we’ll email you a link to one ES page with the pattern download and the sewing video. No purchase is required. Fabric, thread, and tools are separate.
Print your stocking
Choose the 13¼-inch full-size or 6-inch mini pattern, then use the print map and scale directions before cutting fabric.

Before you join
A few practical questions.
What’s free, when Clara’s class is, and what to expect in your inbox.
Is the project really free?
Yes. The ES stocking pattern and sewing video are free, and Clara’s live class is free. Fabric, thread, and tools are separate. You do not need to buy from ES to use the project.
Can a beginner make it?
The stocking pattern is written for beginners. Clara’s pomegranate uses hand embroidery and goldwork. Clara describes it as a good introduction if you’re new to goldwork, and she teaches it step by step in her live class.
What supplies should I buy now?
For the stocking, wait for the pattern email. For the embroidery, Clara offers an optional Goldwork Pomegranate Kit on her website, and you’re welcome to use goldwork materials you already have. Everyone who registers for her class receives the information needed to get ready.
