The first time I heard about it was after I was introduced to heirloom sewing/smocking. Some people evidently made smocked dresses out of it. I don't think I've ever actually seen it, but it sounds like a lovely fabric. Not exactly a real practical fabric in the desert though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4840477980234593438.post-6894604576375763872009-01-15T20:47:00.000-05:002009-01-15T20:47:00.000-05:00Wow!

It turned out well in the end but is surprising that you needed to redraft the armhole and hence the sleeve. It certainly in an interesting exercise.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529416439720810403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4840477980234593438.post-53747969590146717042009-01-15T10:36:00.000-05:002009-01-15T10:36:00.000-05:00I just love your illustrations.
