This piece of fabric had been in my stash for a long time. I thought it would make a pretty smocked dress.
Since I was in the mood to do some English Smocking, I decided to pleat it up and get smocking.
I really enjoyed making it. The colours worked well. The fabric was good to work with and the dress turned out well.
Ready for blocking.
Blocked and ready to be cut and stitched.
For the back, I extended the smocking to to meet the end of the smocking on the front of the dress.
All done and ready for this pretty girl to wear.
