#1993
Well gals, today was my whoo-hoo day! The flashy fuchsia cast is now gone! And I washed my hand for the first time in 7 weeks! Oh how sweet soap and water can feel!! The pins have been taken out of the bones, TMI likely, and now PT begins! The first session was ouchie but I want to get back to quilting again. Guild retreat this week-end so I will do what I can and will take lots of odds and ends to finish.

okay now the cuff.
it needs to be twice the size of the opening of your stocking MINUS half an inch. by twice the size you want the cuff drop.
With that said mine measures 15 1/2" x 6".
the picture here has the name in the top right corner. You need to sew the cuff together 6" side wrong sides.
Then flip it so it is right sides out and then fold it in half.

now slide the stocking into the lining (lining is still wrong side out) put it all the way down into the toe. make sure you do twist it while stuffing it in to the lining (yep did that before) .
Push it all the way in so that the top of the stocking with the cuff is in line with the top of the lining.
Pin this together. Make sure everything is all even at the top.
Everything look good????? if so then sew this together. I reinforced at the hanger.

okay all sewn up right?
Now remember the hole that you left in the lining???? Well now it is it's chance to shine...pull that stocking thru the whole ...all of it. Then sew up the hole...(check and make sure the cuff looks all sewn all the way around (yep that happen too).
After you sew the hole tuck the lining in the stocking and yep......you are all done.
PLEASE let me know if there is any confusion.
You can not know how happy I am this is finally finished. Thank you for the patience.
Please post your finished stocking when you get a chance.
