Disappointing Sep 07, 2009
By Sophia Rohr "Persnickity"
When you see the cover of this book, you would think that it would at least include the patterns for the pictures on the cover, but NO! Although it has great step by step instructions for beginning and picture smocking, there was only ONE pattern included,(and that is not even on the cover) which was a big disappointment, especially considering what I paid for this book. The cover was very misleading, so be forewarned!

Disapointing Oct 12, 2012
By MW
Very few patterns in this book - not even the cover design. General Info only. There are much better books out there.

This book has many helpful techniques to make pretty smocking things. It is a good addition to my sewing/craft library.
