Designer Smocking for Tots to Teens [With Liftout Pattern Sheets]

This book is great for anyone who wants something more imaginative and contemporary than the classic square yolk dress and bishop dress smocking designs. The designs are interesting and unusual, and the instructions are clear and easy to follow. The instructions for the stitches are well illustrated. The book even includes instructions for fun, coordinating accessories. Proves that smocking need not be confined to traditional, conservative garments. I am really enjoying this book.

What a great book! It has wonderful illustrations of stitches, full patterns and great ideas. I loved looking at the book and can't wait to try some of the garments and stitches. I especially like that I will be able to use this book to smock for my grand-daughters past the baby age.
