Even More Smocking Challenge Results

Katherine Dillender sent me these photos of two outfits she made for her daughter using the Smocking Challenge Bishop plate.




I love the colors she used!




Here is a purple version. I love how soft and sweet it looks.






I can just imagine how huggable her daughter looks in this bishop.



Katherine, Thank You so much for sharing your photos. You really made my day!!!

More smocking challenge photos

Well, after seeing Debra's photos it gave me a push to finish a baby bishop I had been working on for a baby gift.
The pattern is Cherry Williams baby bishops in a size 3 month. The fabric is Martha Pullen Victorian Batiste . The lace is from "Luc the lace guy". I picked up 5 yards of the Angel lace at the last Smocking Convention.



The smocking plate is rows 3-7 of my Smocking Challenge bishop.

I was so excited to receive an email from Debra Parker with pictures of her bishop dress that was smocked with my Smocking Challenge Bishop!

Debra gave me her permission to share the photos

Her Smocking is perfect!



Here is a close up. Look at her bias neck band! Wow!


Debra, Thank you so much for the pictures. You really made my day!
