    Findley: A Free New Smocking Graph



    Findley

    I designed and smocked Findley for my nephew's niece. It is hard to believe but she is already a year old! Time does fly! As Back to School sewing is in full swing, and before you know it, holiday sewing, it seemed now would be a great time to share it! (I also finally sat down and got it graphed). Findley is smocked on Stepping Stones Gray in two shades of coral. The smocking design is suitable for a beginner, using only wheat, cable and trellis stitches - OK and 3 bullion roses. Complete directions for each of the stitches can be found in The Smocking Stitches Guide. Don't let the bullion roses scare you - I taught my 8 year old niece and she was whipping them out. There are only 3 in the design - You can do this!

    Update: You can find additional free designs in under the "Tutorials, Resources and Free Patterns" tab of the website. Newsletter subscribers can receive the Daisy Smocking plate as my free gift. Join Here!

    Here is a close-up of the smocking.


    I love the bloomers because every little girl needs a ruffle on her bum! (Tutorial coming soon)
