I love Bucilla kits and have been making them since the 1970's. It's a wonderful hobby, and make great gifts. I'm not a seamstress by any means, but the directions are clear, and it doesn't take anything more than patience and persistence. They look great, and I add a lining so that they are even more structured and secure.
This is the easiest stocking of the several Bucilla stockings I have made. Ordered it as a starter to see if I was able to make them. I even revised the stocking to make the dogs and ball detachable so tiny hands can take them off and play with them! Completely adorable!
