🐶 Bucilla Felt Applique Christmas Stocking Kit, 18" - Snowman and Puppies: Create Your Own Festive Stocking! Review

I have never made a felt stocking but this one turned out great. The number of steps may seem overwhelming. I decided to glue on all the sequins first and then sew on all the felt pieces, which seemed like a more organized approach. I ran out of one of the threads, but the kit lists what colors of DMC floss were used, which is very rare, so finding the right color of floss was easy.

I made these Christmas stockings and the sets have been sorely missed over the last few years. I just opened this kit and there were no color and stitch instructions. While the company is responsive when contacted, it would be nice not to pause the project due to missing items. This set is pretty basic, but I plan on making a few changes to make it more interesting.

I have made several Bucilla sets in the past and have always enjoyed collecting them. This kit is terrible. The quality of felt has deteriorated significantly, especially red. It is almost transparent because it is very thin. The numbers printed on the felt are barely legible. There is no red here either. And the guide lines that show where to place the parts aren't properly aligned. If you've never made a kit like this before, I would suggest looking elsewhere.
