So...I had this wonderful idea to make a stocking like my childhood one for Tony. Since he started working for the United States Postal Service, I found one that would be perfect...
Unbeknowst to me the amount of work that is involved.
The struggle is real!!
I tried to take the easy way out and glue on the sequins, upon realing you had to sew each sequin on with a bead. So I wasted even more time than necessary. Yet, it slowly came together...
I didn't have any stuffing at home, so I simply used the scrap felt pieces. This worked out just fine.
And thanks to a horrible cold and being stuck at home sick, I was able to knock it out in a week.
I don't know how my mom was able to make 4 of these....however, I do notice mine has way less sequins involved. Note to self: monitor sequins usage for future stockings.
