Thanks so much for this tutorial. Although I see smocking on a daily basis (I’m a technical designer), I have never dabbled in it. Something about elastic was always tricky but this tutorial makes it less scary looking.

It also strikes me that you could potentially even get extra use from the armpit stained white shirts most men end up with but upcycling into this cute tunic! I am a newbie sewer, but I may have to try this.

Thanks for the great tutorial. I’ve made two so far (details here: http://annanicsblog.blogspot.com/2012/05/shirred-maternity-tops.html ) and am working on one more. For all the people who asked about the back, I tried to address that in my post. If you’re on the fence about making this, just try it! It’s a cheap project and soo cute when finished!

Comment on Megan Nielsen’s Rie top cropped in gingham by Liz

Oh yes! First off, my chest is a lot bigger than I thought when cutting out the pattern, and I made it out of cotton. You are supposed to make it out of KNIT (stretchy comfy fabric), but I really wanted it in gingham. So….my advice…stick to the pattern’s suggested material and your current measurements :) Not the measurements of a month ago.
