Button hole stitching.

Posted on March 14, 2021 by Anjuili d’Foljambe

I have been button hole stitching the edges to my camica before I pleat and smock it. It has taken me a lot longer than I thought.

This is my camica spread across my 6 foot sofa with my helper Tucker laying in the as of now un-smocked neck line.
The entire hem of the neck line is button hole stitches as are the cuffs. For every inch of finished cuff or neck line I need 5 inches of fabric to smock.
This is my practice/ learning piece for smocking, it was 45″ wide and it finished at 9″

    The smocking sample is lovely. I’m looking forward to seeing the finished piece!
