Canadian smocking by joining 2 points Shell design





Shell pattern

In shell pattern two dots are connected with pulled stitches which are knotted and separated by a slack knotted stitch.
Mark squares of 2 .5 cm x 2.5 cm on the wrong side of the fabric. Mark the red diagonal lines that represents pulled stitch. Mark the numbers 1,2,3,4,....while learning, as it will be easier to follow the diagram.
.Stitch with 3 strands of Anchor thread of the colour that matches the fabric. Folds look good if satin material is used.Follow the steps and stitch all the rows.2 rows of the squares are used at a time.  I have explained them with images. please see below.

    Hello Madam, Thanks for the step by step explanation, I have one doubt, to create a cushion of the shown size(picture in the blog), how much metre of cloth should be taken.(Assuming I am making 2.5 cmr * 2.5 cm squares.
    Thanks for the information.

    Fabric taken varies from pattern to pattern.For some patterns we can calculate directly by seeing the designs.I have not shown those patterns yet.For patterns where we join the points diagonally,I stitch a few lines a sample piece with a cheap material and measure.If anybody knows any other method please let me know.

    My Mother lives in Mumbai and would like to contact you if you give classes and even otherwise. However she is not computer savvy so telephone would be best.
