After numerous mechanical malfunctions this week, sewing by machine has come to a stand still. Consequently the planned next stocking pattern has been delayed as well. So to back to exclusively needlework by hand, at least temporarily...
Just thought I would share the progress with the Rococo stocking. In keeping with the period, I am adding ribbon embroidery. It is such a beautifully elegant embellishment. I have chosen shades of pinks & roses for the main flowers with a soft green for the leaves. Perhaps some ivory sprays, throughout just to highlight the undulating curves of the trims.
