Synopsis

Create unique kids clothing without breaking the budget.
These trendy designs bring the beautiful art of smocking into your child's wardrobe with garments that are modern and practical.
This unique collection shows you how to:
Add small accents - a smocked pocket on pyjamas or picture smocked patches on a boy's denim shorts
Create an eye catching smocked waist band on a pretty skirt, or a gorgeous bodice for a drop waist dress
Add trendy embellishments to tops for fashion conscious pre-teens
Make cute baby outfits
The ten original designs come with multi-sized patterns and complete instructions for smocking and constructing the garments. Step-by-step photographs demonstrate the various smocking techniques for the beginner, from simple embroidery and smocking stitches to picture smocking.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

Smocking is generally thought of as a traditional technique but this super title shows how to bring it bang up to date and relate it to stylish garments for youngsters ranging from babies to early teens. Nine multi-sized patterns are included with the book for garments ranging from cotton and denim baby-wear through to dresses, tops, skirts, pyjamas and embellished jeans for older children. These are modern, fresh and appealing designs that are practical for play and comfortable to wear. They range from easy to advanced level, so those new to smocking can achieve great results from the outset. The garments are beautifully finished with embroidery, beading and in some cases, fun accessories to complete the outfit. Full instructions are provided with close up photos and clear diagrams throughout to illustrate stitching techniques and garment construction. It's a great title for those who enjoy combining hand and machine techniques or who are looking for embellishment ideas for any type of sewing project. --Sewing World, Feb 08
