Stocking with Teddy Bear SVG

About this design

Someone is hiding in this stocking. A little teddy bear peeks out over the cuff, with round ears, a small eye and a cream muzzle, as if it is waiting to be found on Christmas morning. The stocking has a wide cuff, a long leg and a big, round foot. It is a cozy, nostalgic design that feels made for babies and young children.

The stocking and the bear are one connected piece with two cut-outs: the bear’s muzzle and eye. In the layered version, they show the cream backing. Because the shapes are bold and simple, it passes our cut checks from just 1.5 inches tall.

Size and cutting tips

It cuts cleanly from about 1.5 inches tall. For a onesie, 4 to 5 inches. For a nursery sign, 8 to 10 inches. The bold shapes also cut well from felt for soft decorations.

Step by step: two-tone onesie

1. Set the design to 4.5 inches tall and download the solid style.
2. Cut the whole design from red iron-on vinyl.
3. Cut it a second time from brown vinyl and keep only the teddy bear.
4. Press the red stocking on a white onesie, then press the brown bear over the red one.
5. Add the baby’s name underneath in a soft font.

Color ideas

• Red stocking with a brown bear
• Green stocking with a tan bear
• Pale blue or pink stocking for a nursery
• White stocking with a gold bear for a keepsake

Design notes

The bear is joined to the cuff, so it reads as part of the stocking and stays put when you cut and weed. Only its head shows, which keeps the design simple and lets the stocking shape stay clear.

Good to know

On a white onesie, you can skip the backing and cut only the red layer: the fabric shows through as the bear’s muzzle and eye. A thin, stretchy iron-on vinyl is the most comfortable choice for baby clothes.

Variations to try

• Mirror it in the editor to point the toe the other way.
• Add the editor’s offset border for a die-cut sticker.
