The bulk of the handiwork for two out of the three retro space stockings is finished. I embellished with sequins, because Xmas stockings need to sparkle. I will also add a little red bell to the end of each when the time comes.
These are so incredibly easy to whip together. I thought for sure it would take a month...for each, but it really only takes a few evenings while watching mindless television. Whew. Makes my life a lot easier come Chistmas crunch time. Plus I'm handstitching these. I did not fuse the parts into one applique like the instructions told me. I just stitched each piece by hand right onto the stocking. I wonder how fast it would go if I followed the directions.
These are wonderful. I, personally, do prefer the hand stitch rather than the fuse stuff, too. Now, bling them up! I still say little tree ornaments to match would be perfect. Isn't working with felt great. One of my favorite mediums.
