That is if I ever finish these stockings. I had my dear friend, Denise come over last night to help me with the cuff of the stockings. I thought that I understood, but I guess I didn’t. I finished 2 of them. They look AWFULLLLLLLLL. I am discouraged. The simple person in me wants to go to the dollar store and buy some cheap stockings ~ hey ~ they can’t look any uglier than the homemade ones that I tried to assemble. My problem is that I don’t have a pattern. So, poor patient Denise will be back tonight to give me cuff lesson #2.
But my next projext will be a sewing machine cover. I want it to match my room and look presentable . I have my new sewing machine on a desk in our bedroom. We are looking for an antique sewing chair. Here is the pattern that I think I might try. Sewing machine cover .
Well, off to cry over my ugly stockings. And if my 3 yr old calls them big socks again…Santa isn’t filling his big ugly sock!!!!! I have repeatably told him these are STOCKINGS!!!!!!!!!
Oh Jill, you crack me up! :o) Claire is calling our stockings “socks” as well, so don’t feel bad, maybe it’s just a toddler thing?! lol. And sewing without a pattern is hard, I don’t even attempt it! :o) Hope it goes better on the 2nd go-round! Love, Julie
