I have always fancied having a go at smocking and the
other week our local book shop that has now closed down was selling off
all its books really cheap and I found this great book on smocking for
£2 ... its called Contemporary Smocking by Dorothea Hall.
I have been poring over it ever since ... when you think of smocking do you think of little girls dresses? I did, but this book has some great modern ideas ... like this Christmas decoration ...
... a quilted sampler ...
... a cushion cover ...
... and pillow ...
... as well as lots of other things ... I am looking forward to deciding what to make and starting :) ... I really have no idea what to make though.
Have you ever done any smocking? I would love to know how you got on and what you made.
