i have tried to get more done this week, but its been slow going, and its already thursday. so today i bring you all 2 things!
1. i have been frustrated at how hard it is to find some important info on the internet sometimes, and i use this stitch all the time when i am making things, so i share it with anyone who doesn't know! a PDF is available here: ladder stitch/hidden stitch
2. more kits for everyone! i also have a couple of handbags i will toss in the shop too. whatever doesn't sell by next Friday at 12:00 noon will be taken out, and the shop will be closed until january.
this holiday season has totally kicked my butt, and i am so behind i know catching up is pretty much impossible, so i have resigned to my fate, and i want to for once enjoy my holidays. so i am sorry of you were hoping for stuff in the shop, and i may add some things here and there, but i just don't have the extra energy left to go full force anymore... i hope the free tute and the new kits make up for my lameness somehow...
Don't worry, I am so behind on Christmas things too, I don't know how you keep up with your shop and other crafty endevours! The kits look very cute though ;)
Also thanks for the PDF. I remember you posting about this stitch on Craftster back in the day, when I was just getting into crafting and trying to make softies - it's been very helpful!

i'm also behind with everything i need to get done. it seems like it is a common situtation!
loved the pdf. i finish in a crazy non-professional way, so the tutorial was definitely useful! thanks!

do you make a knot when doing the ladder stitch? in every tutorial i have ever seen for this no one ever explains! do you leave the threads loose? help!

This is a great tutorial! Ladder stitch is one of my most used hand stitches. I posted a link to this on my sewing blog:

Thank you so much for the ladder stitch tutorial. I've been looking everywhere and other sources always seemed too vague!
