4.0 out of 5 stars
Good overview of uses for smocking,
By Karen Stevens (Denver, CO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Creative Smocking: Contemporary Designs * Traditional Techniques (Paperback)
If you are a beginning smocker looking for instructions and patterns, this is not the book for you. BUT if you are an experienced smocker looking for new applications and help in adapting patterns to insert smocking, this book is very good. Many innovative ideas for adding smocking to you sewing. Nice photos of projects.

This review is from: Creative Smocking: Contemporary Designs * Traditional Techniques (Paperback)
Very little info or inspiration. The same photos of admittedly nice projects are used over and over throughout the book. "The Art of Manipulating fabric" is far superior.
