WOYWW 4

To my brother: NO PEEKING.  And no complaining if you do peek.

Stamping Ground hosts What's on Your Workdesk?  Wednesday every week.

Operation Smocking Insanity is just about finished!  I need to add 5 little bullion flowers in the main diamonds, and finish a few little tidying-up details and it is all done--a sundress complete with fancyband, smocking front and back, and a pretty ribbon.  I have done practically nothing this week but smock, and now I am all. smocked. out.  I don't think I'll have anything next week for WOYWW.

I apologize for the truly horrible quality of these photos and the fact that the green t-shirt clashes horribly with the different green in the dress.  I took them very fast while my daughter complained.  I think the dress is going to be too long--which I guess is better than the too-small dress I produced last year.   Maybe some tucks?

Front--needs flowers in the diamonds

Whole thing

  4. Let's see--- you made a sundress with a fancy border and a smocked yoke front AND back, and I made a pair of elastic-waisted shorts.
