Total Beginner to Smocking? Not sure what it is or how it is done?
For detailed information about what smocking is and how it is done please
read this page What is Smocking first and
come back to here to order, if you wish.
Ready to smock is a concept that came into existence when some very smart women
figured out that you could pre-construct your pleated dresses first, do the
smocking and then take the pleating threads out. This is very appealing as a
concept for when you are done smocking you're basically done with the dress
except for blocking and the hemline to finish. To help you on your journey we offer
several books on basic smocking instruction (listed below, click
here) as well as smocking design plates from several
smocking designers. See Smocking
Plates we carry. We also offer pre-pleated
inserts for practicing your stitches.
If you have never done smocking before you will need needles (we recommend
Darner's #7), floss (DMC or ANCHOR are the best) and an
instruction manual that has smocking designs
included or a smocking design called a
Smocking Plate (which is printer terminology,
refers to a book plate in color). We do recommend that if this is your
first venture into smocking that you get an instruction manual rather than
try to wing it with just a smocking plate. Any of the books listed
at the end of this page are excellent choices in helping you on your
journey to teach yourself how to do English Smocking. It's quite easy
but takes a little time to teach your hands and mind how to do it.
Please allow 3 to 4 weeks for delivery
for your order. Rush orders are available for an additional 15%. If you have ordered an outfit along with an insert
and book we will send the latter right off to you so you can get a head start
on your journey. Just make a note in the comments section that you
would like the book/insert to be sent first.Be aware that there are two or three busy seasons are about 6 weeks before Easter, Communion and Christmas. Please be aware that the wait time extends to 5-6 weeks before the holiday. If you order two months before the holiday (or sooner) you are guaranteed delivery so you'll have plenty of time to smock. Also please note these garments are constructed from your specifications and are therefore non-returnable unless there is a problem with construction. Each item is carefully examined before shipment. If you can't find a fabric that you like you can always use your own, however the cost for construction will be the same. |

Planning your outfit is half the fun as smocking. You have your choice of matching collar or cuffs or you can use a contrasting fabric and accent piping. For example if you choose a solid color for a dress you can use either a white collar with piping to match the dress or you can use a color for the collar which compliments the dress. If you want a pair of little boy rompers we have some perfect fabrics for all seasons, pique and seersucker for the summer and corduroy for colder weather. Have fun designing your outfit with over 200 fabrics to choose from.

Here are some other items of interest to compliment your smocking
experience:
Pre-Pleated
Insert for Smocking
We have available white inserts (Imperial Broadcloth)
Needles
The needle of choice is the Darner #7 due to it's long shaft
which helps in adjusting your smocking stitches if needed.
Pleating
Service
Our policy is very simple, if no one has a pleater near
you or if you are tired of picking up the dots and want
to get down to smocking we can pleat for you.
Our fees are simple:
Postage is additional, just send us the same amount
of postage as you paid. Turn around time is usually 48 hours,
unless your fabric breaks a needle or
is one of those difficult projects - then we take the time needed to complete
the job, just let us know if you are in a hurry. Oh and if your project
breaks a needle then we have to charge $1.10 per needle.
