Review on Cozy Christmas Crafts: Rachel's of Greenfield Warm Feet Felt Stocking Ornament Kit - K0513 by Barbara Simmons

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very beautiful!

Very impressed with the quality of this set. To be clear, all you get in this kit is felt, embroidery floss, patterns printed on white paper and a gold string for hanging. There is no needle and the fabric is not pre-cut according to the shape of the pattern. You will either need to cut out the patterns, pin them onto the fabric and trace around them, or trace them through translucent paper/plastic. I bought some Hancock thin plastic quilt charts. They weren't expensive and made template markup easier, plus I'll have them if I decide to do more in the future. I also used a very thin chalk pen to draw a straight line for the overlock stitch, as I am not an experienced seamstress. It dusted off right after I finished sewing. I also went to YouTube and searched for the different stitches I wanted to use (including overlock stitch as I forgot how to do it) and found that there is almost no stitch that isn't shown nicely in their video . I finished everything except embroidery on 3 of them. Although it is recommended to sew appliques with a suitable sewing thread, you can also use a skein of the embroidery thread provided. I've used sewing thread and they turned out to be good. All in all a very pleasant experience and they turned out to be really nice. I will probably order the next mittens.
