I have been telling everyone at the store, that they need to make the "Smocked Sundress" from Heather Ross' Weekend Sewing book.....and since I had never tried the elastic thread smocking technique....I decided it was time to make up a sample.....
I just had to use the cute mermaid fabric from Heather Ross.....all you do for the smocking is use elastic thread in the bobbin....and sew lines....take a hot iron to the thread....
And here is the finished dress......It was really easy...and I like it so much that I am going to make myself one.....to wear by the pool....
I have lived in the Midwest all my life until coming to St. Petersburg in 2000 to return to my husbands’ home state. We have 2 great boys and one “wacky” Wheaton terrier.
My degree is from Northern Illinois University in Textiles and Clothing. I enjoy sharing my passion for fabrics with everyone.
