Review on Dimensions Needlecrafts 08124 Sequined Stocking by Carol Miller

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Just unbelievable! A bit difficult but worth it.

I bought this set from Revain stock at a very good price. I've never bought a stock item, but I've decided to roll the dice. The description states that the set was slightly damaged, there was literally a small cut on the cellophane wrapper. The content is not affected in any way! What a deal for an intricate absolutely beautiful stocking. To give you an idea of the difficulty, his hat alone took me about 16 hours. Lots of grays and whites in these fluffy fields! But it's worth it. On a scale of one to ten, with ten being the hardest sewing, that's about a 7.5. Toy, Beard and face, sleeves and cuffs shimmer in different colors. What's why it's so richly textured and vibrant. The thread was neatly sectioned and tagged, and the instructions and diagrams were clear and understandable. I ignored the instructions for splitting individual strands to "fluff" the thread. Instead, I just pay close attention to the tension of the stitch and don't over tighten each stitch and try not to twist the yarn as I work. The end results are full, stunning heirloom stockings that my grown children will fight for. The most beautiful stocking I have ever made and this is my sixth. Don't over-tighten each one and be careful not to twist the thread as you work. The end result is full, stunning heirloom stockings, for which my grown children fight.
