Smocking Challenge

It is almost my first Blogiversary! As a gift to y'all I am posting a smocking challenge.

Here is a smocking plate and the bishop version. The designs should be clickable so you can enlarge and print them. Please let me know if they are not.

The plates are in black and white so that you can use your imagination. There are also areas to embellish if you want to.

There really is not a prize for doing this challenge but I would love to see every one's interpretations. I will post my own version of these smocking plates in a couple weeks.

Please feel free to use these smocking plates for your smocking guild/group.

    I just printed this out. I think I will use your pattern on a dress that I'm going to make for the Boys and Girls Club auction that's in Aug.

    Thank you, Janet for these smocking plates. I'm always on the look out for some that I can do. I'm picture smocking challenged...poor Laurie Anderson has tried & tried to teach me, but I continue to struggle. However, these I can DO!! :D

    Hi y'all. This is my first blog attempt! I am searching for a "miniature" Christmas design for a 12 months jumper. Does anyone know where I might find one?
