smocked dress
[ATTACH=CONFIG]605603[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]605604[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]605605[/ATTACH] Here is the last smocked dress I made. It was my granddaughter Easter dress last year, made off of the Frannie pattern, by Especially For You. I am new here and when I posted on 'Introduce Yourself' someone wanted to see my smocking. (I finally resized small enough to upload these photos. Hope she sees this post.)-Toogie

Very beautiful!! Smocking is so pretty but sadly not seen much anymore. I've smocked a bit and I once taught smocking to a class of seventh graders. My MIL does stunning smocking and makes my daughters lovely dresses.

I know what you mean by sadly not seen much. My oldest grand daughter is 18 now but when she was 6 she told me she had enough dresses. However, when my youngest daughter had her girls, she said as long as I made them she would dress them. She loves to dress them as much as they like to be dressed up, so it works out good for me, too.u

I was self taught and when I first started, I had no pleater, so every time we were in the car I was stitching from dot to dot, to make my pleats. My husband asked me on the way to a wake one time, (yes I was stitching on the way-lol) how much a pleater cost. When I told him, he said order one. He didn't have to tell me twice. That was my last dot to dot gathering-lol
