This is a gorgeous pattern! Im definitely trying this soon because i can already imagine this on the front of a cotton t-shirt or a corset. Very intricate and beautiful Thank you for this one.

[@didsburyartstudio]

Excellent so glad thanks Christine.

Is it strange I'm learning these designs for modern day, designer armor ideas? My thanks to the kind lady making these videos, I love learning new things.

[@patriotgrimmkristogrimm5510]

[@SincerestSawa]

[@didsburyartstudio]

Yes don't be perhaps have a go? wave smocking is a good one to try in the playlist. x

[@carolynspalding]

Thank you! 😊

@@didsburyartstudio mam I tried and makes beautiful😍 really I'm so happy

[@DrJoySmithMaxwell]

Nice! I think it'd look rather fabulous if you'd make sleeves out of it with 1 flounced edge: It'd have a built-in shoulder pad. The hard square & soft flowy contrast would be quite interesting, no?

[@didsburyartstudio]

Great idea! love that...

[@lathikaharshaneedesilva1966]

[@didsburyartstudio]

Thank you so much 😍

[@didsburyartstudio]

you are welcome! I have this one framed up in my studio...😍

[@HEYITSPAXO]

I'm looking to nake some scaled smocking for a corset for a cosplay I'm making and this is so incredibly helpful, the first tutorial that didn't give me a headache! Thankyou!! How would this look if it was ironed? I love the scale texture but don't need the puffiness, alternatively do you have any reccomendations for a fairly beginner friendly pattern that might work better?

[@didsburyartstudio]

Hi there I know what you mean some of these patterns can seem daunting...ironing the pattern comes out just as nice! try the wave smocking for beginners...I've done a video in my smocking playlist for that. thanks🙏

[@maygolmafie5523]

I love your channel ❤😍

[@didsburyartstudio]

Ah thank you. I really enjoy making the videos!

[@nothin2656]

It really is lovely. Would it work in voile? I also wonder what it would look like using a half inch grid?

[@didsburyartstudio]

Yes I know what you mean every time I do a video I'm think oh yeah what if I altered the scale or the fabric for another video. 🙂👍🏻 Lovely to hear from you...maybe I'll get change to do some more videos with your suggestions...or if you do DM my instagram with your pics.

[@nothin2656]

I think that I have gone mad. I choose organza and a time consuming 1cm matrix. It is going to take me some time, but it is starting to form. It was an old top that I hadn't worn and I plan to insert the final piece into the back panel of denim jacket. Big project for a beginner, but I have to try. I love your craft room and wish that my cat was as well behaved near my work.

[@leelulady2010]

This is fabulous! How much % shrinkage does this technique make roughly?

[@didsburyartstudio]

thank you yes it shrinks by about 50%😒👍🏻

[@leelulady2010]

@@didsburyartstudio Thank you so much!

[@sheilajones8851]

Love watching the videos on Canadian smocking, where can I find the patterns for the different patterns please?

[@didsburyartstudio]

Hi Sheila thanks for this yes I usually put the pattern within each of the videos I do on smocking...so I recommend you try out the smocking playlist and I'll try and do some more patterns in videos shortly! thanks Sally😌

[@rimjhimdeopriya1]

How much fabric is needed for 14" x 14" cushion???

[@didsburyartstudio]

I should think you would need around 24 inches squared.
