Smocking

I finally got pictures uploaded.

This is a size 8 top from issue 92 of

Australian Smocking and Embroidery.

I may have to make 2 more cause I have

2 more granddaughters to sew for.

I made it out of a poly/cotton because my

daughter does not have much time to iron.

This was a fabric from my stash purchased

at Wallmart quite a long time ago.

They used to carry some very nice poly/cottons.

Now days it is very difficult to find nice poly/cottons

which is to bad.

It's a good thing I still have a small stash!!

I am back.

I think I am back.

I got some new magazines!!

I love magazines.

And this is one of my favorites.

There where a few projects for older girls so I was excited about that.

All my girls are in a size 8 or bigger.

That's to bad cause there are such cute projects for the little ones.

I am working on a project.

This is it.

The smocking is done.

Just need to sew it together now.

I will post it soon!!
