What is "smocking"?
Smocking is a sewing technique where fabric is gathered and stitched in a pattern to create a decorative and textured effect. The process involves sewing small, evenly spaced stitches that pull the fabric together, forming pleats or ruffles. This technique not only adds visual interest but also gives the fabric an elastic effect, making it more flexible and comfortable. Smocking is commonly used in children's clothing, dresses, and traditional garments to enhance both fit and style.
