Loved the tutorial, you talented lady but it is beyond me at the moment lol have only just got back into sewing at the ripe old age of 64 and thanks to you tube and all the fantastic tutorials on here have decided to make a quilt not going to well as I am having difficulty working out how much materials to buy for my squares lol . made a bag though from your tutorial turned out well lol proud of myself xx

[@debbieshore]

Keep it up Edwina, you'll get there!

[@mike1968442]

[@joannecarroll5504]

New subscriber - I love this piece & your presentation is calm, clear & easy to follow.

[@debbieshore]

Thanks Joanne!

[@janetrodgers8473]

I've watched you do this on Hochanda and have Sew Inspired, yet it was just whilst watching this (as I have an idea in my head for a dress, based on smocked dresses from when I was little in the fifties) I thought, a short bodice of bows with a gathered skirt! Although I love traditional smocked dresses have bought them for my 7yr old granddaughter, not all young Mums like them, but I think this will give a 'modern' take for a smocked Angel Top/Tunic or dress.....yes, I know its actually traditional too, but knowing you, I think you'll get where I'm coming from! Now, if you like that idea, let me get mine done before you get one done for your granddaughter, as she's about the same age as Macey whose almost a year and 4 months! lol.....Thank you Debbie!! Again!

[@janetrodgers8473]

Oh, I forgot to say, I'll sew any pearls or other decoration on VERY well as I don't want her parents to make any emergency trips to A&E or having to keep an eye on Nappies as I don't think that would make me popular as she loves to 'investigate' everything, as they tend to do at that age!

[@debbieshore]

I know exactly what you mean! I love the idea of adding the smocking to tunics and dresses, I'd maybe make them a bit smaller... I have a couple of pleaters with the intention of doing some traditional English smocking, yep, they're still in their boxes! Glad you like the shows!

[@Saucyakld]

Janet Rodgers I made one for my only little granddaughter and gave it to her mother. It was just gorgeous and pinched the pattern of Prince George's little shirt. Never saw it on my granddaughter d daughter, neither the knitting or other little sun dresses. Only do the odd quilt which the children love and use

[@frankungvarsky1022]

[@philby611]

When my daughter was very small (38+ years ago), I made some dresses for her with smocked front yokes and they were adorable. I haven't don't any smocking since but may try this.

[@debbieshore]

I keep meaning to try English smocking again, I havnt done that since I was a child! Oh for more days in the week!

[@debbierawson6583]

Would love to make this cushion cover for a cushion pad of 16inch square, but unsure of how much fabric I need 60/70 inches ?

[@pamelafrances4773]

Thank you so much for explanation and demo"s Debbie. Could you please tell me where I can purchase the ruler that you use. I have found one 30cm x 15 cm ideally I would a longer one.

[@debbieshore]

I bought mine from Amazon...

[@pamelafrances4773]

Thank you Debbie for your quick response.

[@margaritahenriquezmunoz7674]

Hola quedo muy lindo pero que medidas uso

[@yvy0503]

Hi Debbie, thank you so much for sharing this beautiful design, can you please tell me the measurements of the squares? Thank you so much!

[@debbieshore]

They're 1", glad you like it!

[@dogandcatmum]

hi Debbie please can you tell me if you are going to bring out ur country kitchen dvd again as im having a lot of trouble trying to find it thanks for all the great books and dvds love them all.

[@debbieshore]

I'm afraid that ones not coming back, I've just had a search and cant find it anywhere even on E Bay! Was it a particular project you wanted?

[@anon4518]

nice

[@neenachauhan1878]

hi mam design is very beautiful.what is length of cloth

[@debbieshore]

Twice the size of your finished project and add a border of about 3" all the way round for pleating.

[@neenachauhan1878]

Thanks mam

[@dcrodriguez6744]

what kind of fabric are you using for your cushions?

[@debbieshore]

a heavy weight cotton works well, the type you'd use for curtains, the pink I was demoing with is a linen mix, most any fabric would work though...

[@dcrodriguez6744]

thank you! Always enjoy your tutorials and your style of teaching.

[@tabethabrown7641]

What size needle are you using?

[@debbieshore]

I like sharps, in the longer sizes so 3 - 5. Hope that helps!

[@mike1968442]

Im going to do this for the seat at my make up station.

[@mardianamardiana3264]

Berapa ukuran per kotaknya? Love from Indonesia.

[@glyniswhitaker8892]

Would look great made in velvet or satin and beaded for an evening or wedding clutch bag.

[@debbieshore]

Thanks a lovely idea...
