I couldn't have been happier with this pattern. It was so thorough, and my first attempt at smocking turned out a great success. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

grenat pattern

The pattern is simple to follow. The added videos are great for a newby like me. I have a lot of sewing experience, but this was my first smocked bishop. I would not recommend it to a inexperienced sewer, but intermediate or advanced.

Smocking is for everyone!

I have always wanted to learn how to smock. This pattern taught me every step of the way to do the entire thing by hand without using any special machines or equipment! Such a simple but yet timeless design and style. The included videos are extremely helpful too, to help visualize each new technique. I love that all sizes are included in this one pattern, from newborn to 14! Definately on my list of dresses to make as gifts for baby showers/new babies too.

I have always wanted to learn how to smock but have been too scared to even try. This pattern makes smocking easy to follow- even for a new seamstress. The videos show you exactly what to do if you are a visual learner- they definitely helped me when I was questioning myself!! The results are amaaazing!!! I have never been more proud of something I have made.
