Designer Smocking

Create unique kids clothing without breaking the budget. These trendy designs bring the beautiful art of smocking into your child's wardrobe with garments that are modern and practical. This unique collection shows you how to: add small accents - a smocked pocket on pyjamas or picture smocked patches on a boy's denim shorts; create an eye catching smocked waist band on a pretty skirt, or a gorgeous bodice for a drop waist dress; add trendy embellishments to tops for fashion conscious pre-teens; and make cute baby outfits. The ten original designs come with multi-sized patterns and complete instructions for smocking and constructing the garments. Step-by-step photographs demonstrate the various smocking techniques for the beginner, from simple embroidery and smocking stitches to picture smocking.
