Canadian Smocking

October 14, 2013 8 Comments

I tried this technique on a piece of faux leather – and I love it.

I used pearl cotton thread to make the knots- it wasn’t hard at all; I think I have a type of faux leather that is easy to work with.

Now to turn it into an useful piece- it seems a little tricky.

Have a great week,
Geta

    Oh, I remember back in the 1950's (before you were born!) my grandmother used to make pillows like this out of cotton fabric. It's a form of smocking I think.

    Olá Geta, linda técnica, parece bem difícil e imagino que necessite de um pouco de paciência!
    Parabéns pelos seus magníficos trabalhos.
    Tenha uma boa semana, beijos.

    What a great look. Your faux leather looks to be pretty soft. Love the lime green color.
