belated Christmas sewing


Images: front and back of Lily's Christmas stocking.

It has been a rather drawn out process this - trying to finish Lily's Christmas stocking. I did the right thing by servicing the borrowed machine - and it has taken three more goes by the repair men to make it work properly. sigh!

But having learned my lesson about procrastinating - I was determined to immediately sew on it for an extended period to ensure it was working........much easier to prove they didn't fix it right if you take it back the next day, rather than waiting a month to use it....oops! So I pulled out unfinished projects and ta da! One belated christmas stocking - fabrics and santas from my sisters stash. Two tag blankets for new babies (they just keep on coming!) I used more ribbons this time. Off to Wellington this afternoon (big smoke here I come!) but cutting out the next projects too, to be sure, to be sure....
