Oh Debbie i flaming well love you!! LOL.....I have looked at these for sometime now on your projects and fallen in love, not having a clue how to do it, thinking it must be so damn difficult to have a finished project so beautifully stunning, it has to be hard, doesn't it? but you have shown me how easy it is! It's funny when someone shows you something, it becomes less daunting. I think once i have managed to make something on my machine, i may do a small square of this, and add it to the centre of a cushion, or a panel on a handbag like you have done with one of yours, you are such an inspiration to me, thank you xxx

[@DianeDezieltoolfully]

virignia burgos And thank you for your comment... glad you like it!

[@itsmehamid76]

It really a wonderful art. I liked it. Thanks.

[@debbieshore]

Looking into the history of smocking I think many countries have tried to claim it, it's very popular in Portugal, India, Japan and very much in Algeria. There is very little information available worldwide and sometimes can be quite mathmatical! I've been trying to work out more simple ways to smock and will be letting you know when the book is published...

[@lynnbrassington1788]

I made this cushion I am so happy with it

[@ekeomankurumeh9205]

[@shannonskipper9504]

I really like your videos on Canadian Smocking, Not a lot of information on how to do it.. So, thank you...I hope you post more...

[@dawnhertz4116]

Canadian smocking, eh? Thanks, I really like this.

[@BannadStudios]

You are so right Debbie. I have searched over the last 7 years or so, the history of smocking or shirring. It is a difficult thing to pin down and many countries have tried to claim it as you mention in your comment above.

[@sabashaikh9139]

I try this it is so easy

[@debbieshore]

You'll need twice the size of your cushion pad as the smocking shrinks it by half, add a couple of inches on top of this for seam and zip allowance.

[@chimpsnpimps]

Just subscribed! I love your canadian smocking tutorials. It's so refreshing to hear a British accent, I think I instinctively learn more if I'm not trying to decipher accents. More Canadian Smocking PLEASE!

[@joelizakanoy2051]

i would like to learn this one. very cool!

[@kaurreikicentre217]

oh.... I knew this 13 years back... when I was in India

[@debbieshore]

thimblelane web site, or John Lewis, many habberdashery shops sell them, they're either metric or imperial, I prefer imperial. Hope that helps! Deb

[@rayanferaria1866]

Hello Debbie, I am looking forward to your book. Is it still set to publish this fall?

[@MonicaMonty1997]

Beautiful. I recommend a video in Spanish Punto Capitone, Narracion en Castellano, Español .

[@sathibappy5115]

nice

[@sheeronang5]

I'm confused. We mark every alternate box, but the flowers are made on every third box only. If I make a flower on every marked square, the cloth bunches up into unrecognizable pattern. So I made a flower in every alternate square and it turned out fine, but I have those x marks showing in between the flowers, although washable but I wonder what's the purpose of marking the extra squares. Or am I getting it wrong?

[@w2kdvm]

thank u for the vid, but I wondering, where did u buy that kind of ruler? i want to have one..thanks

[@azhankhan8245]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@vijayanaidu4404]

verynice

[@CathieH88]

what was the overall size of the fabric you used for your cushion? Thank you

[@gdedmonds2001]

I tried to order both smocking books from your site; however, it was unsuccessful because there was no conversion tool before purchase for US currency. How much is the set in US currency. Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@leesama8953]

Thanks a lot, it seems to be easy in fact. What i want to know is, is there any way how could i know the mesurment for the piece that i should buy knowing the measurments of the cushions/beds i'm trying to cover. Hope my question makes sense and somebody can help me.

[@debbieshore]

This design shrinks the fabric by half in both directions, so buy a piece of fabric twice as large as you need! ie, a finished size of 12" with an extra 4" border would need a piece of fabric measuring 32" square. Hope that helps!

[@leesama8953]

Thanks a lot! like really "a lot". I'm trying to make it now and the drawing part seems to be the hardest task of 'em all. hhhh. :)

[@carolynellis387]

I'd like to do a 15" square so as you said double the amount, does that make it 30" square material? In your box cushion you used 24th I think. Thanks Debbie

What size fabric will I need to use to make a pillowcase

[@debbieshore]

Farah Alam You'll need at least twice the size of the pillow, the fabric shrinks by half but different fabric behave in different ways, so allow a little extra!

thanks a lot. for 14 inch square pillow how much fabric and boxes will be needed. pl help me.

[@debbieshore]

radhika rao the fabric shrinks by about half, I'd try a 30" square of fabric and start smocking in the centre, then you can stop when it reaches the size you want! I'm afraid I never did work out the maths for smocking, it's just trial and error for me...

[@redouaneredouane1748]

[@iscaboundavioner8643]

where to buy ur ruler????

[@debbieshore]

If you tie over the join about 4 times, and to be sure you could finish off with a french knot, they really stay put!

[@wazerrepoman8300]

Hey, I'm a bit confused right now but is this pattern the same with "X" patterns from what I'm seeing in the internet???

[@debbieshore]

Wazer Repoman Not sure which pattern you're looking at, I use an 'x' for most of the patterns, but in different configurations, could you post a link to the one you've been looking at?

[@wazerrepoman8300]

Nevermind, I saw from my other mates they have the same outcome but yours was faster and better.

You will need twice the size of fabric than your cushion pad, then add a 3" border to allow for pleating. Hope that helps!
