4.0 out of 5 stars
Good overview of uses for smocking
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Not great
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.

I purchaed this book just for the Christmas ball pattern. As it turns out it had great instrucions on other projects. It was a great buy for the $4.00 I purchaed it for.

My favorite pattern is the one right on the cover, but there are some neat ideas inside. It is not a book for learning HOW to smock, it is a book for taking smocking to a new level with innovation.
