I was going to a DJ exhibition that was happening tonight BUT it was canceled so instead I made a quick and dirty smocking tutorial for aznenchantress

And how exactly would you incorporate this into a sleeve or bodice while keeping stretchiness? Are you not supposed to back it? Or back it with more smocking?
If you dont do it the quick and dirty way (knot each group instead of running a continuous thread through the lattice) you don't need to back it because if a group or two break it will be an easy fix.
If you want to back it anyway you can a) smock the lining fabric so it will fit perfectly or b) use a lining that is a little larger than the pattern
Wow! I don't think I had any idea you could do that with fabric (although I guess I could probably say that about a lot of things). It looks so lovely!! I'm super impressed :D :D

Thank you!

I have waited years to learn how to do this! Thank you so much for taking the time to show step by step how to do this. It's very pretty and I will try it as soon as the holidays are over and life gets back to its boring routinely routine.

Should I make one for embroidery for you?
