In Canadian smocking “Bee cottage” design is very useful. Both right side and wrong side of the design are beautiful.
Using the wrong side of the design we can make varieties of designs. It is like our Indian “Rangoli" Once we master the technique we can create as many designs as we want. I will show you how to produce a beautiful flower pattern from the reverse of the pattern “Bee cottage”. I do not know it’s real name. I feel like naming it as” Flowers and buds”
Draw squares of the dimensions of your choice on the wrong side of the fabric.Mark X . as shown in the graph.These are the squares in which smocking is done
After smocking the square marked X disappears .Width and the length of the smocked piece is equal width of the square x total number of gaps.

Vani,
ReplyDeleteAll your Canadian smocking tutorials are awesome.
I saw the same type of smocking done on a girls frock for the body part.
The cloth material had polka dots and the smocking was done in a way that the dots were seen when upfront upon gathering.
Would you be able to share some ideas on these lines.
Thanks for sharing,
Suseela
