SILVER BIRDS

My red birds now have little silver friends and they look like they're chasing each other all over the Christmas tree. I managed to make two Christmas stockings,  Rudolph for my flatmate and Cats for Furgus.  Kirstie's Homemade Christmas  did make sewing a Christmas stocking look easy but I had to do some fiddling because I couldn't remember how to layer all the pieces so you only had to sew each stocking once. I made the lining a tiny bit smaller so it would fit inside. I used to work in wardrobe years ago and an older wardrobe Mistress told me it was bad luck to sew something perfectly you should always include a tiny mistake. So I never feel bad when my stitching is wobbly I'm just keeping an old tradition alive.
