| Class Description: |
Smocked flowerettes add a pretty and dainty look to English smocking. This class will teach you to stitch perfect smocked 6-cable flowerettes. Additionally, flowerettes can be added to traditional geometric motifs, vertical smocking, and curved smocking. You will learn several ways to incorporate these pretty accents into your geometric smocking without the tedious tying off of threads that is typical in traditional flowerette smocking. |
