King Charles III’s Sandringham drapes turned into a one-of-a-kind Christmas stocking for auction

A unique Christmas stocking crafted from drapes at King Charles III’s Sandringham estate is now up for auction. The handstitched piece was made by the Dumfries House Sewing Bee in Scotland. Proceeds from the sale will support training programmes for young people through the King's Foundation.

The Sewing Bee has produced 25 numbered stockings, each one distinct. These items form part of an auction running until midnight on December 12. The final stocking, marked No. 25, will be presented as a Christmas gift to the King himself.

This isn’t the first time the King's Foundation has auctioned items made from royal fabrics. In 2023, kimono jackets created from Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle curtains were sold. A year later, footstools upholstered in similar materials went under the hammer. With Buckingham Palace alone boasting 760 windows, there remains a steady supply of fabric for future projects.

All funds raised will go towards practical skills training for over 15,000 young people each year. The initiative continues the foundation’s tradition of repurposing royal materials for charitable causes.

The auction closes on December 12, with the final stocking reserved for King Charles III. Money raised will directly fund training schemes for young learners. Further details can be found on the official Sandringham House website or recent news updates.
