Advanced Crafting - Smocking Trellis and Diamonds

Advanced Crafting - Smocking Trellis and Diamonds

In an age long ago (not that long), before the world was blessed with elastic, there was smocking

Smocking is a style of embroidery but mostly it was sewing done in a way that bunches fabric beautifully to give it "stretch" before the invention of elastic and spandex and interesting texture before the advent of machine embroidery!

In this session, we will practice how to smock in the English style to create trellis and diamond patterns in your fabric.
