The end result of this was my first smocking for many years....
But since then, despite several encouraging comments regarding the "Gone Smocking" post, the two lengths of fabric have remained untouched in a drawer....
However, this month I finally got round to making the first piece up into a christening gown...
Quite what I'm going to do with it, I'm not entirely sure...
So if anyone knows of a good marketplace for a Christening gown in pure cotton jacquard, fully lined and to fit a 6-9 month old... I'd be only too pleased to hear.
It even comes with its own matching hanger...
Now whose bright idea was it to do the second piece of smocking...!
