Brooklyn- one of the pattern designers behind Create Kids Couture — did an amazing job with this pattern test. She did it right too, since so many of us had never smocked before or had only done it once or twice, and spread it out. We took a solid six weeks, broke it down step by step, and finally turned out an incredible finished product….
Sue Ellen is a classic smocked yoke bishop-style dress that includes an original smocking plate, designed by Brooklyn with the beginner in mind. Oh how wrong I was! We styled it up with some cowboy boots and flowers in her hair. And can you even believe that only three simple smocking stitches create this entire amazing work of art?!

I belong to a very active smocking chapter here in the Houston, TX area. Midnight Oil Smockers boast a membership of over 40 fabulously talented members. Members were instructed to review media pictures of Princess Charlotte and her ever precious smocked dresses and then to create a dress that would be perfect for either HRH Princess Charlotte or their favorite princess. I immediately thought an English Garden design would be lovely.
I pulled several smocking plates of flowers from my stash and began to consider which would be most appropriate. In the Smocking Basics Series , I recommended that you start with a geometric smocking plate for your first smocked project, so it seemed only natural to put together a round-up post of Free Geometric Smocking Plates!
I haven't rushed to do this post because I didn't think I was going to find much, but I was pleasantly surprised! So, let's see what I found! Over at Gathering Threads, Claire Meldrum has several vintage designs posted as well as a few that she has designed. This is from the s. This design is from the s. This design she re-created from the book Simplified Smocking. And finally, this is a free design of her own.
