Advent Calendar 2023 – Nativity Scene
Footwear
The first shepherd´s shoes are worked with wrapped Back stitches (coton à broder No. 20),
that of the third shepherd initially only with Back stitches (coton à broder No. 16).
I don’t like that, so I ended up wrapping the stitches around.
Maria’s foot is also worked with wrapped Back stitches, but using coton à broder No. 20.
Josef’s boots are embroidered with wrapped chain stitches (coton à broder No. 20).
To add some variety, The first Wise Man’s shoes are embroidered using Blanket stitches (coton à broder No. 20).
The boots of the second Wise Man are embroidered with wide Stem stitches, the soles with Satin stitches (coton à broder No. 16).
The footwear of the third Wise Man are worked with wrapped chain stitches (coton à broder No. 20). The scarf has fringes made from Coral Knot stitches (coton à broder No. 16)
