Hey all, I just finished stitching 2 Cross stitch Christmas stockings for my DH and I. Only now I'm not sure how to turn them into stockings. I have a sewing machine and do beginner alterations (side effect of being petite) and a few small projects. I found directions online here www.embroidery-methods.com/counted-cross-stitch-christmas-stocking.html but I'd hate to make a mistake since I spent so much time working on these. Anybody have any tips, tutorials, etc? Also, suggestions for liner fabric? I was thinking plain solid colored cotton.
Thanks. I thought about putting some pix but I got distracted. =) I stitched this cross stitch stocking (attempted to add pic, hopefully that worked) and now I need to find a lightweight fabric to line the inside (so whatever I put in the stocking doesn't snag the back of my cross stitch, and a medium weight fabric for the back of my stocking since the cross stitch is the front. It's taken forever and since I usually just frame my work I am a little freaked out that I will mess it up since usually I just sew when I'm hemming.
