I did it! I finished Mr. P.S.'s stocking. If you remember, I took the pattern from the book Scandinavian Needlecraft.
I didn't have much success gluing the reindeer to the stocking. Fuzzy wool and adhesive don't mix! I had to restitch a couple of areas to include the reindeer layer and the stocking layer so hopefully it will hold. I finished the top edge with a bias tape-esque woven trim from Hancock's. I made a little hook and attached it on the right top seam, but it was so bulky that it made the stocking hang funny. I moved it slightly to the inside back of the stocking.
Now on to my stocking! I would also like to make some stocking hangers for our mantel. I like the ones below:
I've had hardly any time for sewing because Mr. P.S. had surgery on his hand so I've been doing all of the house stuff and driving him around. Busy busy!
