It is finally done!
Santa’s Journey Stocking from Dimensions is now all stitched! He just needs to be washed, ironed, and stitched up into a stocking. So, still a lot more work…
I made a few minor changes–adding a few partial stitches here and there to make the edges a little smoother; taking a few liberties with backstitching; and leaving off all the white french knots that were meant to evoke snow. (I think they make the stocking look too busy and take away from the beads and french knots used elsewhere.)
He turned out even better than I was hoping. Thankfully, the vast majority of the stained areas will be cut off or are under stitching. The gold trim along the edge of his jacket really brings the whole piece to life. The finished stocking will sparkle nicely in the light of the Christmas tree. I can’t wait to see it hung up!
Smalls SAL – Smalls stitchers! Tomorrow is Smalls check-in day. I hope you’ve got your finish all ready to post. I’m looking forward to see them all.
