An other slow project: smocking on polka dots. I love this kind of smocking, on dots, or stripes, or gingham, because it doesn't need previous pleating
Pleating is the most ardous and boring step in smocking, unless you have a pleater.
This is simple: join the dots and pull the thread. Lovely little flowers are formed and your fabric is pleated at the same time.
And this is the back.

even without the pleating, that's a lot of handiwork! I love the effect on polka dots :D
ReplyDeleteSpectacular result from the humble polka dot!
ReplyDeleteI love it, although I'm not sure I'd have the patience to try it myself!
