Finn is my newest doll. He is a needle felted and needle sculpted cloth doll with a flexible armature sewn in. His hair is embroidered. I decided to use Finn as my inspiration for learning to smock. This is the simplest stitch - the cable stitch. Farmers wore shirts called smock-frocks before modern times. The smocking is makes the fabric elastic and stretchy. Comfortable for working and playing. |
