Smocking in on

Hey.. I made my first smocking dress!!!

Self-learn smocking

My dreams has finally come true.. I'm learning to do smocking myself! Now I can refer to all my Australian Smocking & Embroidery magazine collections to make this trial dress for Maya. Thanks to Shiela who helped me do the pleats. She finally made my dream come true.. But I'm learning smocking all by myself you know.. without any guidance. I hope I can find some expert who can share some tips on how to get started. Or suggest good books that you can consider a must have...

I'm not sure when I can complete this dresses, as I have so many in-hand now.. Epal Projects, customers orders.... my own family's attire for Eid Mubarak.. and my own Baju kurung for Hari Raya... Its just 3 weeks more...

Time is running out... I must move on!
