It came right out with a little dishsoap and gentle scrubbing. Guess I’ll be keeping this first try, can’t be sending something like that out into the world these days!
It’s not an actual stone in there, though there are tutorials for such a thing. I used scraps of fulled sweaters and some roving.
There’s a tutorial at lilfishstudios on that part. For the embroidery, you’re on your own. I found it quite challenging, as evidenced by my self-stabbing, ouch!
These are so cool! Roving is one thing I don’t have in my stash (I don’t have a lot of wool on hand, in general), so I’m going to have to bookmark this for later. I would imagine that the embroidery would be pretty challenging, since it doesn’t seem like you’re able to go out the back side. Ilike that you used sweater scraps on the inside instead of rocks, too. Thanks for the link to the tutorial!
I totally stitched right through that sucker! But I hid all my knots so nothing shows. It was not all that easy, I gotta say. Maybe by the time I finish the rest I’ll have figure out some tricks to share.
I wasn’t felting! I was just stitching. All the felting gets done in the laundry machines, well a little bit of rubbing the stone with hot soapy water at the end but that was not the least bit stabby
SO awesome! I just got myself a small needle felting kit and I have a TON of while roving, and wool felt. I really love the shot of all the pebbles in the stocking! I can’t wait to see more!
