Last summer I smocked
my first bishop dress.
It was much easier than I thought.
I took a class
and we used this pattern :
the bishop dress by Ellen McCarn
and Aurora smocking plate.
and Aurora smocking plate.
I chose to make mine with angel sleeves,
less hot and more space for growing!
and a little lace to finish them.
The smocking went relatively fast,
and it was a great project for hot summer days.
Here a close up of the smocking,
as close as I have been to picture smocking!
It is on my to-do list,
just not on the top!
The only sad part:
I am finally capable of making them,
but Miss C. does not want to wear them!
She looks good in them!
Perfect for dancing!
Happy sewing!
A very pretty bishop on a very sweet little girl! If she doesn't care to wear smocked bishops as a dress, they can make sweet nightgowns, too!
