4.0 out of 5 stars One of the best smocking books I've purchased, June 3, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Creative Smocking: Contemporary Design, Traditional Techniques (Hardcover)
I really was more than pleased with this book. It contained so many innovative and creative ideas to use in smocking. Most smocking books contain the usual baby and childen's clothing along with other heirloom items. I teach English Smocking and use this book as a resource for all my classes. It gives people great ideas to build on and many of them can be used for ADULT garments which won't look like maternity clothes. I get new ideas every time I go back to it. It's only drawback is not using more creative fabrics and colors, but if you can get past that, the ideas are refreshing. I recommend it highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Creative ideas for texturizing and smocking, great photos!, November 5, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Creative Smocking: Contemporary Design, Traditional Techniques (Hardcover)
This book has many lovely color photos and clear explanations of techniques. I found the directions easy to follow, and the pictures provide lots of creative ideas. I really liked the photos of texturizing techniques and the picture smocking ideas (like creating a landscape scene with smocking). I think this book would also be useful for all levels of smockers, from beginning through advanced.
