You buy one on ebay with no instructions and go to town with it!!! I am enrolled in a smocking class that will begin in a few weeks....seeing what you have done and well armed with classes, maybe I will take the pleater from the box! <br />The FME would make a beautiful lampshade or curtain.

Will you be putting those in the group? and you already know how I feel about your ''out of this world'' smocking sampling.

I made one of cardboard last summer for some shibori dyeing, but it didn't last very long and I had to do the stitching. :) The lace is gorgeous!!! Your smock is going to be so beautiful. Have a wonderful weekend. (The heat is still on here. 98 yesterday, but it is supposed to cool next week.
