How to finish the Blackbird Stockings...
I e-mailed Alma Allen to ask if I could have permission to make a pictoral compliment to BBD's insturctions for finishing their stockings, because many folks have asked if I could help them as they were visual lerners. Alma gave me the green light....so, I stitched this Candy Corn Stocking up today and finished it so that I could make up a tutorial to help some of you out. Here's the two I've made.....

Beautiful job Vonna , as always. I love the candy corn stocking and beaded holder. The stockings are all so sweet. Going to try your gnocchi soup recipe next week. Sounds so yummy.
ReplyDeleteThank you Vonna! I'm certainly not finishing-challenged, but I was a bit nervous about finishing these by hand and being one of the visual learners, a tutorial with pictures is excellent! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat tutorial and both of those in this post looks amazing, I just love em!
ReplyDeleteYou are an angel! Thanks so much. When I eventually get one stitche, I'll be right there learning how.
ReplyDeleteGreat finishing and that's a nice tutorial. Do you sew down the seam allowance that you turned down at the top? You didn't mention that part and that's the tricky part for me.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a sweetheart for having these tutorials. They have been such a great help! Love your stitched stockings too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Now I'm really sitting on pins and needles waiting for my patterns to arrive. I do have one question, which kind of interfacing do you use, yours looks thicker than what I use.
ReplyDeleteOOPS! forgot to say how much I like the two you stitched :)
