I too have a baby granddaughter; I knit for her but am keen to make her updated versions of the lovely smocked dresses that I and my cousin had when we were small in the `50s. I think these steps make it clear and am keen to have a go. I do find it difficult to find the kind of fine cotton or lawn that I would like these (summer) dresses to be made in, so any advice would be v welcome. Best regards This is a very helpful site.

I have been wanting to learn to smock for a long time and have not been able to get to classes. Your guide is perfect - very clear and very nice photos. I believe I will now be able to start from the beginning with pleating my own fabric and trying out some stitches. I have an 18-month old granddaughter that I am anxious to smock some things for. So, once again, thank you so much. Liz Just want to thank you for putting up your Guide to Smocking. I have been wanting to learn to smock for a long time and have not been able to get to classes.
