A-Z of Smocking

This A-Z of Smocking book is a wonderful resource library for anyone who enjoys (or is learning) smocking. Great for the beginner or the advanced smocker.  It is a highly sought after resource!  Originally published during the golden era of fine needlework, this highly collectible edition features world-class photography, masterclass tutorials, and its usual classic garment inspiration for traditional smockers and embroidery artisans.

“The A-Z of Smocking is designed to reveal every secret, and answer every question you have on this timeless art. Over a thousand step-by-step photographs bring smocking within the reach of anyone who can thread a needle.”
* The cover of this book may be different to the photo as I there have been a couple of re-issues of it (and the cover has changed slightly).

From the same publishers as Australian Smocking and Embroidery, and Inspirations magazines, they show photos of projects in those magazines, but with a whole lot of detail on one particular element.

These A-Z books are “One of the great reference books of all time”.
They are spiral bound, making them so easy to use. They have loads of colour photos, and many, many embroidery stitches explained in great details.
They are a wonderful embroidery enthusiast’s manual that will be used over and over. Even experts need to look up the finer details from time to time!
