One of the many things I have been working on is the lavender smocked bishop:

I haven’t gotten much done, but I love the effect so far. Smocking the baby waves closely together created a braided look:

I hope you have had a great start to your week. I am going to enjoy mine. I hope you are too!

Hmmm…I am wondering what a “smocked bishop” is? (Certainly not a smock wearing clergyman!) teehee
But I am certain it will be beautiful!
Blessings!
That brought back memory to me. I used to do smocking for my daughter. One in particula was a lovely dress using Liberty prints. Yours is beautiful in lavender. What is hte smaocked bishop?
What beautiful work. The finished garment will be stunning.
Happy sewing!

Your English smocking is coming right along and I love the exquisite shade of lavender floss. I think the bishop’s gown is my favorite cut, the most rewarding. Yours is just lovely.
You do stunning work!

Oh, this is so beautiful and you do such a good job! I just love it!
Thanks for popping in to see me. I got those Rooster pitchers in Italy many years ago!

Hi! I found your blog by searching for grapes and smocking! Your work is beautiful.
I was wondering if you knew of any smocking plates with grapes on them! I would love to smock a little pillow with grapes on it for my mom. I’ve been searching all over and can’t find anything. Thanks!
This is so beautiful! I love smocking, it is so delicate.
Thank you for your sweet comments on my blog.
I love smocking! But, never tried bishop smocking before. Is it easy as it look? Any tips?
