English smocking is embroidery on pleated fabric. A delightful way of adding decorative stitches to a garment and at the same time creating some elasticity and fullness. For most projects, you can use good-quality cotton or lightweight wools, silks, batiste, linens, muslins, or polyesters. The embroidery floss should be suitable for the weight and texture of the base fabric. Most smocking stitches are a variation of the basic backstitch done through pleats. ------------------ More Smocked DIY Ideas: ------------------ Amazon ------------------ Pure Silk Fabric- Shop on Amazon: ------------------ Teespring merch: ----------------- Music: Track Info: Memory, Rain - AShamaluevMusic.
