Another question, what fabric do you recommend using? Kona Snow maybe? Sorry,I am just excited!
It amazes me how people can hand sew without a thimble. LOL
Bonnie mentioned using gingham for honeycomb smocking, I've also used tiny polka dot print fabric that worked really well.
Very cute pattern, and adorable pics!
I used my light box to mark some sweet light printed calico fabric, you could also just tape it to a sunny window.How is everyone else doing?
Can't wait to make it for my GRANDs.
I'm looking for your Miss Violet pattern but I cannot find it in your shop. Please advice?
I love your smocked dress:)
