I am so glad you want to expand your smocking skills!
Hi, I am Lisa and I am so glad that you want to expand your smocking skills in 2025. I have been smocking for over 25 years, have my Artisan level certification in smocking from the Smocking Arts Guild of America and served as their national President from 2014-2016. I started Pink Hollybush Designs to share my love of smocking and sewing. I so love making one of a kind smocked garments first for my daughters and now for my granddaughter. In today's fast paced society, smocking is a relaxing and meditative way to slow down & create something beautiful with your own two hands. I want to encourage you to take a few moments for yourself during 2025 to expand your smocking skills and stitch something beautiful, so I created A Year of Smocking! So grab a cup of tea, take a few moments for yourself this next year, and let me encourage you to expand your smocking skills!
Will I be receiving something in the mail?
No, you will receive a digital PDF download that will be delivered to your email inbox on the 10th of each month.
I am not sure I have the time for A Year of Smocking now, can I enroll in the future?
A Year of Smocking is designed to encourage you to take some time and enjoy your favorite past-time. Enrollment is only open Nov. 25th-Dec. 2nd. It may be offered in the future but I can't promise that.
Will A Year of Smocking teach me how to Smock?
No, A Year of Smocking assumes that you know the basics of smocking. If you would like to learn to smock, check out the Learn to Smock Course.
Will there be videos showing how to execute the stitches or a community component where I can connect with others?
The Year of Smocking will include written tips and tricks to help you execute the stitches. If you are interested in video tutorials or the encouragement of a community, please come join us in the Sewing Circle. Enrollment for the Sewing Circle will open the last week in December.
