Jessica has difficulties doing anything with her hands and it is a credit to her that she was determined enough to make this stocking. She chose the fabrics, did the machine piecing and covered most of the seams with machine embellishment but persisted in her efforts to do a few hand embroidered seams, she then handed over to mum to stitch on the embellishments which she carefully chose and told mum exactly where to sew them on, her love of cats and music is reflected in her choices.
