At last....after much grumbling and moaning (with a few unsavory words thrown in too!) I have a finish!
This was certainly not the pleasure to make as the other stockings have been. I had lots of problems with this stocking and took lots of pictures to show how badly off each piece was, but have decided that I will concentrate on the good and show you just the finished piece (who wants to hear anyone moaning and complaining at this time of year!) So here are the cast of characters that make up the stocking....
.....hundreds and hundreds of sequins and beads....
....a little 'handmade with love' label from my stash....
....and baby's name embroidered on the top (I wasn't going to show her name, but since her mama has it on social media there's no privacy issues)...
...... a plain white lining (no pictures as it's a bit boring!)....and we have a finished stocking....
This certainly was a labour of love but I'm glad it's done and am pleased with the finished stocking.
Here's the details of the kit...
Manufacturer - Design Works
Kit name - Winter Friends #5260J
Finished size - 18 inches
Would I make another felt stocking? Absolutely - but not using this brand! I personally prefer the Bucilla kits and feel they are made to a much higher standard.
Anyway, now to parcel this sparkly stocking up and send it on to it's new owner, just in time for Christmas!

Such a cute stocking! I'm sorry it gave you so much trouble!
Congrats. Even with all the problems it sure turned out gorgeous. I bet it will be loved.
It's a great design, I love their faces but the quality of the pattern leaves a lot to be desired. At least you are experienced enough to be able to right their mistakes.
This came out so good.Inspite the problems. AriadnefromGreece!
It’s a shame about the problems, but you managed very well. Rather sad for any others not so experienced as yourself, but then maybe you’d need to have a certain amount of experience to even buy the kit!
Ah well, yours turned out beautifully! Well done!
Hugs,

So glad to see you have finished this stunning project but what a shame about the errors along the way. At least if you stitch another stocking you will know which designer to avoid. :)
