Stockings

It’s that time again to think about our Christmas sewing. Every year, we make stockings for the Christmas Bureau, and they are very well received. These stocking are also great for friends and family. My family is always evolving, so I keep making stockings. They are fun to make and always turn out great. I will teach you to make a pieced front and we will do the assembly in the second session. Beginners welcome, rotary cutting skills an asset.

Please Note: Due to Cindy’s recent illness, Rita is going to host this session for Cindy. Come and join us in support of Cindy and her love of charity by making Stockings for the Christmas Bureau. Even if you know how to make a stocking, pop on Zoom, and sew with us in support of Cindy. Lets give her encouragement by showing her how many stockings we can make on her behalf.
