Last night at 1am I finally finished what I am calling “Phase 1” of the smallest’s Christmas stocking. I’ve had this fabric for ages so not entirely sure why I left it to the week before Christmas to make it! 😅😅 but anyway, I did it in two nights. The first I made a pattern and then cut out the fabric and one set of wadding. I then realised I didn’t have enough wadding or anything to finish the edges with so spent a good 40 minutes finding places that sold what I wanted, but used Evri and not Royal Mail (FYI I support the strikes! 💪🏻). Then last night I cut out the last bit of wadding, sewed the bits together by quilting, sewed the front and back pieces together and then spent ages trying to make the bias binding work even though it was nowhere deep enough for what I needed! 😬😬 I’m very pleased that it’s finished to a useable state! The next phase will be unpicking the bias binding and the seams, finishing the seams properly and adding bigger bias binding to the seams and also the top! 😃 Ill also add a loop and I’m thinking a nice tassel too! The biggest smallest has now also requested one in the same fabric, so I may also need to get some nice embroiled letters to go on too! #handmadechristmas #christmasstockings #christmassewing #quilting #sewing #sewersofinstagram #coffeeandyarn https://www.instagram.com/p/CmkGjl_oQng/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
