Smocking in Fashion Design: Beaded Cuffs with Embroidery Technique

Smocking is an embroidery technique used to gather fabric so that it can stretch. Before elastic, smocking was commonly used in cuffs, bodices, and necklines in garments where buttons were undesirable. It was used to gather the fabric in bodices of the baby frocks. You need at least 4 times the cloth for the width of the final piece. ------------------ More Smocked DIY Ideas:    • DIY Smocked Cushion with Hearts: Canadian ...   ------------------ Amazon ------------------ 4 inch Wide Satin Ribbon: https://amzn.to/3o3eSwF Pure Silk Fabric: https://amzn.to/2UIVWH3 Shop on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/shop/handiworks ------------------ Teespring merch: https://teespring.com/stores/handiworks ----------------- Subscribe to other Channels: DIY Stitching:    / diystitching   ------------------ Contact me on - [email protected] Website: http://www.handiworks.net/ Pinterest:   / handiworkspage   Facebook:   / handiworkspage   Instagram:   / handiworkspage   ------------------- #Flowers #Embroidery #Art ------------------- Music ------------------- Track: Inspirational Moment - AShamaluevMusic Music Link: https://ashamaluevmusic.fanlink.to/eja3
