I bought this kit about two weeks ago and have finished the front of the stocking. I worked on it off and on between work and family. I am making it for my two year old daughter who exclaims "that beautiful" every time she sees it and my four year old son can't wait for me to start his. I plan to add an interior lining to them both to help them survive years of Santa's visits. I must say these kits are like potato chips, can't have just one! I now have a nice stock pile of kits to keep me busy and make great memories for my children. The kit comes with most everything you need except stuffing, scissors, pins for holding pieces in place while you sew them on, and pipe cleaners for the lollipop sticks. I recommend not over stuffing the lollipops, it makes them top heavy and a bit droopy on the arms. I speak from experience, I tacked the bottom of the sticks down which seems to have worked. If you have sewing experienence these will be easy for you but still detailed enough to keep your interest. If not, the instructions are great and if you go one step at a time you'll be so proud of the results.

You will become addicted. Lovely project and so beautiful when complete.

This kit is *really* cute, but it takes a TON of time. There are about 125 pieces that have to be appliqued on. All the stripes on the candies are separate pieces! I would estimate that I spent 60 hours or so on it, and I'm pretty fast at it. Don't plan on completing it as a quicky project, but it's totally worth the effort when it's done. Mine looks just like the picture.

I made this for my granddaughter. It took awhile but really ended up nicely. Only thing I did not like was there was no name across the top. I ended up sewing some silver cording to make her name. This stocking was a lot of work but will be special for her for years to come.

This stocking has lots of pieces but it turned out fabulous!

I loved doing this project! The Bucilla Christmas Stocking was fun to do and came with everything I needed to complete the project. I have made 3 different Bucilla Christmas Stocking over the last couple of years for gifts and loved making them all!

Bucilla Christmas Stockings are always a hit. The stockings end up looking very professionally done because Bucilla apparently has some expert designers. Bucilla does a good job of preparing the kits with outstanding and easily followed instructions. There is almost always ample thread, sequins and beads. I have had to purchase additional embroidery thread to finish a project lately. Bucilla is not quite as generous with the supplies as they were in the past. But there is generally enough to complete the project.

The stocking is beautiful and is a good year-long project to do until next Christmas. It does take much longer than one can anticipate. Just be prepared and give yourself a lot more time than you need. Edit to add: After completing the stocking, I did run out of green thread. Luckily, Wal-Mart carried the exact color, and I was able to buy more for about $0.50. I didn't just run out near the end, either. I would have needed twice as much green thread than what was included with the kit.

This is the same kit that my mother did for me when I was a little girl, I'm now 51, and through the years I kept it. I am so pleased that I am now able to make one for my granddaughter. This is a wonderful kit and full of surprises as you put love into every stitch!

These kits are great! They are so detailed with sequins and beads adding a little "bling". Some areas are also stuffed - you provide the fiberfil but it takes very little. The directions can be a little confusing. I tend to look at the photo to guide me. If the key in the directions was printed in color, it might be easier to differentiate between the symbols for the stitches. Once you get started on it though, it goes quickly and is enjoyable to stitch together!
