PARA VOCÊ...



Que cada amanhecer do seu dia,
Nasça uma flor...
Que cada sorriso teu,
Seja as pétalas que torna
essa flor mais completa.
Que cada pensamento positivo,
Seja o caule que a sustenta ...
Que cada passo pra vitória ,
Seja a terra que a alimenta ...
Que cada gesto teu,
Seja o sol que fornece energia,
E que o brilho dos teus olhos,
Seja a beleza e a simplicidade desta flor...
Que me embriaga com seu perfume
E me encanta com seu carisma...
Esta flor que desabrocha em seus pensamentos
E me transforma em você...
Uma flor que vai permanecer intacta,
Às mais diferentes épocas,
Aos mais inesperados destinos...
Uma flor que nunca vou permitir morrer!!!


"Saudade nada mais

é que a

prova de que o

passado valeu a pena".

COMO FAZER ALMOFADA

How to do Canadian smocking 

 



 

In Canadian smocking folds are created by
pulled stitches alternated by slack stitches 
at equal intervals using a grid of dots 
as guide line. Usually it is worked on the
reverse of the fabric except for ” The flower “design.
When fabric is gathered from the back side
beautiful pattern is formed in the front .
This type of smocking is not as elastic as
English smocking. Beautiful cushions and
bags can be prepared with this type of 
smocking. Canadian smoking is also 
called North American smocking and
Lattice smocking. This type of smocking is
very quick and easy to do . The neatness 
of the work depends upon the grid of dots
that is marked on the fabric. I prefer to
draw square graph of required dimension.
It is easy to draw squares of required width
by using ruler of the same width. That is if you
want to draw squares of 2” use a scale of 2” wide.

Preparation of the fabric

Step 1

Iron and remove wrinkles if there are any.
A margin of required width is left by 
drawing margin lines on all the four 
sides of the fabric using a tailor's chalk.
Now we have to mark squares of required width.
Step 2

Use a scale of required width and
draw parallel lines to the margin of one side.

Step 3

In the same manner draw 
perpendicular lines
Thus the fabric is divided in to squares 
of required width.I prefer to produce the
lines beyond the margin lines as
it helps while finishing the work.
Now the fabric is ready to smock.

In Canadian smocking folds 
can be created in three ways.

1. By joining two points
2. By joining three points and
3. by joining 4 points.

Further variations can be made under
each method by changing size of the square, 
by leaving gaps between rows or 
columns and by drawing rectangle grid
instead of square grid. Using flower type
stitch in-between.In my next post I will explain the
method of smocking various designs.
