Finished stockings |
It is really fun to have personalized stockings hanging on your mantle at Christmas time. Sometimes the stockings present some challenges.
Unstitched name |
A client had started to remove the name of one person so another name could be put on instead. She quickly found out it wasn't easy so I finished it up but it did leave a few small holes. Client said that didn't bother her.
Hoop ready for stocking |
The other challenge was that I wasn't going to be able to hoop them in the traditional manner. A lot of times I can undo some stitching but that wasn't going to work here. I hooped a piece of heavy weight stabilizer and cut a window in it. Then I pinned the stocking underneath and stitched it that way. Worked just fine. Now is the time of year to be thinking about these kinds of projects.
