This is my first stocking, I'm working on it now for my daughter. It's quite involved but will be worth it, it is so cute! The felt is thick but I want it to last for years and years so I'm going to sew it onto a fabric stocking I will make using the back as a pattern. I don't think the felt would hold up to many years of Santa leaving lots of goodies in it. Still, very happy with my purchase, I would recommend this kit to anyone up to a sewing challenge.

I made this stocking for my granddaughter, Ava for her first Christmas. I have made nine Bucilla Christmas stockings and this one took more time that the rest but was well worth it. It is perfect for a little girl.

I have made many, many stockings and this one was the worst. The face is small and needs to be pre printed so that no embroidery is necessary on it. Very hard to get the mouth right. I will never make another one of these.
I have always been very good at embroidery but this was difficult.
I was so sick of it by the time I got it finished it wasn't even pretty. Hope you have better luck with it than I had.

I am so proud of this stocking! I had never done one before and it took me MANY MANY MANY hours to complete. I worked on it every spare moment and VERY late into the night for about 3 weeks. I do not have awesome sewing skills and had never done any kind of embroidery before so that could be why it took so long. However, if i could do it then i'm pretty sure anyone else could. I made it for my 3yr old daughter because she loves to dance and it was the only stocking i could find that was really girly and christmasy at the same time. Because of my lack of experience with sewing and embroidering, the intructions were a little hard for me at times but i figured it out(actually I asked my husband). This might be embarrassing, but i also had to look up how to do some of the stitchs on u tube. I wanted the stocking to be absolutely perfect. i'm sure there are many other stocking kits out there that would have been much easier for a first timer, but this one is just so darling that i couldn't settle for anything else. plus my daughter LOVES IT! So if you really put a lot of heart and time into it you wont be disappointed!

I ordered this stocking to make for my granddaughter. I love the detail and all the cute designs. I just finished my stocking and I am delighted with the outcome. However, this was a very time consuming project and I would consider the instructions vague in places. This would not be good for a beginner. I have made five other Bucilla stockings and this was by far the most difficult. Also, the space for the name on the cupcake is really too small. I love the finished stocking and I am sure my granddaughter will love it for years to come.

i have to say i loved this stocking. I have made many of these project and i agree the face was a little time consuming, it was what you should a expect for a craft like this. I have a 4 year old daughter who loves pink and dancing so when she saw me making this she was extremely excited and i have to say the little girl in me loves it too. Lol. Here's a hint though, if you don't want to get embroider the face simply get colored fine tip pens and trace it and add the blush, i did for my sister's daughters one and it turned out just as good.

I am almost finished with this product. I have been making Bucilla stockings for family members for 30 years now. Two things I found with this stocking is that the felt seems thin. Maybe it is just me, but I feel that it is thinner than the last one I made. Of course you have to realize the last one I made was 17 years ago for my last daughter. I did have to buy more red and white floss for this project. It is turning out quite cute though.

It's a really cute stocking, just a lot of small pieces to cut and emroider. It came with all of the necessary pieces. The only problem I had was that some of the beads did not fit over the needle but I had the same problem with other stocking kits purchases other places.

I stitched a Bucilla stocking kit 30+ years ago for my daughter... I'm stitching this one for her daughter, my first grandbaby. The 30+ year old stocking, although a little worn, is STILL being used! This stocking appears to be of the same quality - I'm thrilled and anticipate it will last just as long and help create as many memories.

Although there were a few negative reviews about the quality, I purchased anyway - based on my previous experience. The quality appears to be the same and since the first stocking is still going strong, I'm sure this one will as well.

One reviewer was correct - there are a gazillion little tiny pieces to work with! But, again I anticipated that (previous stocking had just as many) and knew that to get the detail in the stocking (as pictured) all those little bits would be necessary.

I'd definitely recommend this kit (and any Bucilla kits) based on my past and current experience. Just be ready to spend the time with those little details!

This stocking is absolutely beautiful when finished! However, this is not the stocking for novices. It was quite difficult and intricate and probably took the longest of any stocking I've ever made. (I've made 7 of these already.) So, take this into consideration when you're deciding which one to buy. I know my granddaughter is going to love it and someday I'll take her to see the Nutcracker so she can see the real Sugar Plum Fairy.
