註釋Smocking has been a favourite hand-stitching technique for hundreds of years. Now adventurous stitchers are experimenting with the traditional stitches, combining them with new materials and new ideas to create some fascinating effects. For the beginner or the experienced smocker: - Clearly illustrated - step-by-step instructions for all the basic stitches. - Fabric facts - what to use and how to prepare it. - The pleating story - how to pleat fabric for smocking. - Stitch patterns - dozens of original designs, all shown in colour photos. - Embellishment ideas - using embroidery, beading and quilting to adorn a smocked design. - Smocking projects to try - ornaments and angels, skirts and blouses, and artistic stitching just for fun. * First paperback edition - published in hardback in 1997, ISBN 1-887374-33-7
