    For the last few months I have been learning smocking. It is something I've wanted to learn for a while now and I have been taking night classes. I'm happy to finally be finished my first smocked dress and I've filmed a silent vlog for you guys of the process. Hope you enjoy! Don’t forget to turn subtitles on.

    Lovely work. I have made many smocked dresses for my granddaughter who is now 25. I have a large
    collection of the Australian Smocking Magazines like the one you were looking through in the video. I subscribed to them in the US rom Australia. They were expensive but I have never seen a more beautifully designed and photographed magazine. I met many of the designers when they were here in the US for promotion. I still have my pleater. I don’t make them anymore but have many happy memories of making them when she was a baby. I even taught another daughter-in-law and she made many dresses for her daughter and then a granddaughter. I keep all the things because I dream that I might get a great grandchild and can sew for that generation. Who knows? Thank you for the reminder of nice memories.
