Tutorial cont…….

Posted December 7th, 2011 in What's New

Ok, are you ready to continue? Did you start your stockings today?  Here goes:

Remember how I said you start in the middle and work your way to the top and the bottom? Well in case you come up short at the top, it’s easy. Just add another piece until it’s all covered.  Even if it’s not the same size strip as the others.

Here’s the extra piece of top. Once I trim it, it will be thinner than the others but it’s ok.

Now let’s work on the bottom part. You will need to turn your pieces so they fit the turn of the sock.

That red dot fabric strip I didn’t need to make quite as long. But I just sew right over it with the next piece.

Now you have the whole stocking covered.  Ready to trim.

Flip the stocking over and let’s trim it. See the extra long piece at the top.  You’ll just trim that too.  Trim all around the stocking right up to the batting.

You should have this.  Your stocking front.

Next I added trim.  I put this trim on.  You can add it anywhere or not at all.

I strung thin red ribbon onto each side of the trim And then put a button in the middle.  Your kit will have all this inside.  The trim I sewed down by hand right in the middle.

Add your button.

I’ll stop here and let you catch up. More tomorrow.
