smocking
last night i was taught smocking in the lovely ladies from bricolage pop up shop
this is embroidery used over gathered material
we started of stitching 4 rows of running stitch equally spaced out in a straight line on about a 70 cm piece of linen, you then pulled these strands tort which pleated the fabric down to around 5 cms
you stitch horizontally through the pleats half way down to make patterns
once all stitched you then take out the rows you did at the beginning
i was left with 7 cms of smocking
