Finished COMMISSIONED Bucilla Christmas18" Felt Stocking "Santa’s Sweets” 86181

Description

This 18" handmade Commissioned stocking has been made for a Client and is listed for them to buy. I would encourage only experienced crafters to buy this kit. This handmade new stocking is made from a Bucilla kit #86181 and is a very detailed and three dimensional design . I have made some enhancements to this kit (as I do on most handmade kits) that includes use of special glass and pearl beads, custom green felt back, a stronger hanging loop and a more dramatic color scheme for the name tag and the Gingerbread cookies in the basket are removable. This stocking was also stabilized with a foundation layer of felt because this kit has so many items on this stocking, that having extra foundation is critical to help it maintain its shape over time.  I haves lined this enchanting stocking with a gingerbread boy and girl fabric. This is a very three dimensional stocking and is loaded with visual accents.
Every crafter has their individual style and artistry. Mine is based on learning the needle arts at the age of six from my Grandmother who was born in 1900. I endeavor to give my work a dimensional look that allows them an impression of almost being alive; I want the future owner to see that Christmas magic!  My stockings typically take 50 to 60 hours to make because I like to use fine stitching, I make custom colored backs for exposed felt (so each piece will look finished front and back), I strengthen and stabilize the front of each kit with foundation felt which will enable the stocking to maintain its shape over time, I also line the front and back of each stocking in a way that maximizes the interior space and enhance the hanging loop to strengthen it.
Personalization must be requested at the time of purchase, names that are seven letters or less will look the best. WITHOUT instructions for personalization at the time of purchase, the stocking will be mailed out within one day exactly as shown in the listing. WITH instructions for personalization, shipment may be delayed up to three days. Many of the people who buy my handmade stockings later request additional ones made on commission. If you would like me to make a different stocking kit for you, please contact me for a quote. Prices varying on the size and difficulty of the requested work and the value of the kit itself.
