I just uploaded a new sewing vlog of me making both this dress and the beige one. There’s also some footage of my new sewing space and sewing tables! So happy to have my own little home studio now.
Getting back into some more smocking. I smocked some samples of heavy weight linen today. Initially I didn’t like how some of the pleats were twisted after putting them through the pleater but after I had smocked a few rows I actually liked the texture they added. This little sample piece is to put into a mood board of some bits and pieces that are inspiring me lately.
