Let me start off with Happy New Year!
I have been busy bonding with a new computer. I came down stairs about a month ago and found out that my youngest son had replaced my old worn out PC with an imac with a 27" screen and a drawing pad. Thanks Chase!
So I have been working on learning to graph my smocking plates on Adobe Illustrator instead of Smock Soft ......I know life is tough! :-P
So here is the smocking graph for "Baby Charlotte" that I had been promising. It should be clickable.
This smocking design is for a baby bishop. If you want to use the design on a larger bishop I recommend pleating 8 rows adding a Baby Wave (1 step trellis ) or a cable row above the design.
Hello, and Happy New Year's to you.
ReplyDeleteThe smocking plate is not clickable. :-(!

Ooh! I can't wait to use it!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you. I always enjoy seeing what you made.
ReplyDeleteI was able to right click and then, "Save image as".
So pretty!
ReplyDeleteYou are a real inspiration to do more smocking. This plate is perfect for the little bit of curved smocking I want to do (On a raglan daygown).
ReplyDeleteI'm still working out how to pleat a curve with my pleater. Any help?
The design is now "Clickable".
ReplyDeleteElaine, when I pleat a curve it is sort of the same as when you serge a curved edge. The section of fabric that is going through the pleater at that precise moment is straight. Clear as mud? Email me and we can talk.~janet gilbert
Thanks Janet! I'm sure that Emma will need a bishop smocked with "Baby Charlotte."
ReplyDeleteI really like your smocking plate. I've made several gowns with Chery's Basic Bishop, it's been my favorite pattern for baby bishop dresses.
ReplyDeleteThe bishop dress has always been my favorite so I really enjoy seeing the smocking artwork that makes each dress so beautiful. Good luck with learning to use the Adobe Illustrator for patterns.
ReplyDeleteOoooh! I'm so happy I happened upon your blog! I've always wanted o learn to smock. You've inspired me --- I'm going to try some this weekend. Love the site. I'm your newest follower and will list you under my bloglist. Thanks for sharing -- Karen
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet baby design. Thanks so much for sharing it. It will be on my next baby bishop.
