HONEYCOMB SMOCKING | How to make a HONEYCOMB pattern tutorial. | Didsbury Art Studio

[@kbree4484]

I am SO excited to find this video! I learned this hand smocking pattern way back in 1973 and created a beautiful pillow with it...only to lose the pillow many years ago and trying to recall and relearn how I did the pattern! I just couldn't remember, and haven't been able to find a teaching platform to relearn it--until NOW!!

I am so delighted you found this video too! there is a smocking playlist which you might enjoy..

[@mcrdsd2008]

Absolutely loved your video! Such a beautiful job! Would love to see how to make envelope toss pillow cases with this technique. ♥️

[@didsburyartstudio]

[@PSALMISTWANDAANN]

great!😊

[@Evsstudio]

Thank you so much for the tutorial! I would like to ask about smocking from size small to big on a half circle skirt panel, is it possible to sew it smoothly ?

[@didsburyartstudio]

Hi there Eva thanks so much. That sounds like a super idea...I know I made another video once which increases the scale but I haven't done one on a skirt. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pX7Zl3Z5esStqNU

Wow thanks for teaching me this easy method I will definitely make it for myself 🇵🇰

[@didsburyartstudio]

Ah wonderful! You could also try it on a larger scale and see how that looks too?

[@khatoonsalma4942]

How much long cloth is used for making15inches broad piece?

[@didsburyartstudio]

Hi Lata thanks for watching...here's what I used if you can work it out from there! My original size (using 1 inch squares) was 22 across and 16 down. Then once finished it measured 4 inches across and 15 inches down.

Can you tell me the exact thread you are using to stich your pleats together. I would like to make a similar project on a baby girl dress made with cotton. Thanks.

[@didsburyartstudio]

H Andrea I used upholstery thread think I got some off Amazon. Ooh sounds like a perfect project to do with this technique all the best with the results! Keep an eye out for upcoming videos on more Smocking I'm going be doing.....☺️

[@fatimaal-zuhairi7373]

Thank you for the best explanation Would please tell me how many cm. Do I need to have 20 cm. After the I made like you I appreciate if you could help me please 🙏 Fatima

[@didsburyartstudio]

Hi there usually the honeycomb smocking can shrink to about half the size of your original fabric size. Hope this helps.

[@cathrinebd]

What is the ratio to determine how much fabric you will need before making this pattern?

[@didsburyartstudio]

Hi it looks like the original size (using 1 inch squares) were 22 across and 16 down. I've just measured the smocked finished piece and it measured 4 inches across and 15 inches down. I hope that this helps. thanks for watching Cathrine.😄
