I just received my new preview issue of the magazine and it is fantastic! It is full of wonderful ideas and new techniques.
My Baby Romper #134, is featured in the magazine along with the free smocking design. The design is great for those who are new to picture smocking.
As chance would have it, I have ended up with two extra copies of the new issue that I would like to give away in a random drawing!
To enter the drawing for a free copy of the new Sew Beautiful Magazine

- The two lucky winners of the new Sew Beautiful Magazine will be announced Tuesday, June 22nd.
I love to smock & embroider, but have never been able to master fly-stitching. Being a lefty I have to turn everything around and just haven't been able to get that stitch!
ReplyDeleteI just found out I am having a little girl and I'm learning how to smock. I'd love to master smocking a bishop dress!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute romper! I look forward to seeing this issue. The technique I want to learn this year is roll-whip-gather by hand. And I'd like to get better at featherstitch.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to actually make a bias tube! And to learn how to really put a zipper in a skirt (an invisible one!)
ReplyDeleteI'd like to master smocking to a level where it is comfortable to just pick it up and do it. I have done the back smocking on a project and need to move forward to the main event.
ReplyDeleteThe give away is wonderful but you need not include me in that I subscribe and my issue will show up sooner or later.
With my first grandchild on the way, I'm trying to re-learn all those sewing techniques that I used to know. Not as easy to learn the second time around, but I'm getting there.
ReplyDeleteDitto what Karen said! My boys are grown now and it's been a long time since they wore smocked outfits. I am starting to sew for the grandchildren I expect to follow sooner or later and am having to brush up on all those smocking skills again. And keeping my fingers crossed for a little girl.
ReplyDeleterecently started learning to do smocking&did some lattice smocking .now iam looking forward to learn smocking a bishop dress for my girls.
ReplyDeleteMy new grandson is going to need this romper next spring! I am trying to learn the double featherstitch to use it on his blessing gown.
ReplyDeleteMichie,
ReplyDeleteI was in your Feb SAF class and am still working on getting the ducks smocked correctly. A simple picture smocking pattern would be wonderful. :)
Aside from finishing my class projects, I am working on the christening gown for our new granddaughter due in Aug. I would love to do some beaded smocking on it but more practice needed!

I think the shell edging stitch is so pretty. I'd like to try it by machine and by hand and see if I can do it. I have all kind of instructions - it's just a matter of sitting down and deciding to try it.
ReplyDeleteTatting is something that I have long to do for sometime now, once I think I scared the most precious little old lady in the doc's office because I got up and sat right next to her and starred loving at her while she was tatting I did mention to her that I would love to learn but there was no response like I wanted to hear just "oh you can do it sweetie" as she moved the shuttle so fast it was very hard to even see what she was doing.
ReplyDeleteI would like to learn how to modify a pattern to add faggoting. I also want to master a perfect placket.
ReplyDeleteI would like to master modifying patterns and even creating my own. Well, that and completing all of the sewing projects that I have started this year and need to complete. If only my 1 month old and 2 year old understood!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful romper! I would like to teach my 11 (boy) and 13 (girl) to sew some this summer. I would like to have my son help make the pillow case, sheets and curtains for his new bedroom. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cute romper! I would like to do more hand embroidery.
ReplyDeleteI would love to learn picture smocking. I just learned to smock and really want to learn more techniques.
