Four New Stockings!

Yeah!  They are done.  I figured out why I don't sew as much as I knit or spin.  First of all there is all that ironing.  I HATE to iron.  In fact that was one of the things I told hubby when we first got married.  I don't iron.  LOL!  There is equipment to deal with.  The sewing machine has to be on a table.  Not like knitting or spinning which I can do out in the Great Room with the rest of the family.  I also had issues with the sewing machine and all the bottom thread kept bunching up and I had to rip it out and do it again.  It didn't work and I tried 2 more times and ended up changing thread before it would work right.  There is all that pinning.  You spend more time cutting and pinning then you actually spend sewing.

I need to plan to do at least one project a month sewing though.  I have a bin full of fabric that is future clothing for the family.

Number Two is Done!

Here is the two of them.  I tried to keep all the seams invisible in the second one.  It sort of worked.  Sewing isn't my best skill.  I ended up doing goofy seams at the top.  It taxed my brain to try to figure how to work it so the seams didn't show.  I think I will go back to my first one and not worry about invisible seams.

Got One Done!

Got one of the stockings done.  Only 3 more to go.  I have everything cut out so its just a matter of sewing them.  I had thread issues.  The bottom thread kept bunching up on me.  So I just switched the thread.
