Floral smocking tutorial part 2 - sharing the more boring part of the process where I show you how to cleanly finish the edges of your floral smock work and have a panel which is ready to use for your sewing projects. Once done creating all the flowers following part 1, pin the edges of the fabric as shown in the video. Next, sew them together to secure the flowers. Finally, remove the erasable pen by lightly steaming the fabric. Now you have a clean panel which is ready to use in your sewing projects! I highly recommend to use a medium thick cotton or calico for your first try as it’s easiest to work with. However, I find that you can use most fabrics for floral smocking as long as it is not too thin to hold the flower petals. Please comment if you have any questions and send me your projects if you end up making something based on my tutorial! 💕 • •
