Turquoise Smocked Dress

The smocking

I found this fabric in a quilting store. It was a real reasonable price at $6.00 a meter. The colouring is a dark turquoise and has small floral with  ladybugs and bees on it. I thought it would be cute smocked for my real blond girl.

I took the colours from the dress and smocked this my own design on it. I normally would NOT smock red as this is my least favourite colour.

lines pulled out and yoke attached

The dress patterns is Sweet Pea from A Garden of Smocking, now out of print.
