Picture Smocking Graph Paper....to share





This summer has been packed with fun with my Grands! The house is quite....too quite....and I need to get busy working through designs that are long overdue.



In doing this, I'm amazed that I was able to get things done twenty years ago in record time that take me FOREVER today! That being said, I've had a productive few days working out the "kinks" in the revision of my Cinderella design. Who would have thought that putting Cinderella "in the coach" would be so tricky. I'm not complaining!! Twenty five years ago, all the graphs that I put into my designs were hand drawn. Thankfully, my light table sits alone in the corner of my basement collecting dust.


Bonus is that in the process of "taking a break" from the tediousness of creating the Cinderella graphs with horses and a carriage full of stitches, I made
Picture Smocking Graph Paper
I've used it in the past for small designs....usually the things I do are much too large for a single piece of paper...and decided this was definitely something that I can share. This little sheet of paper also took some time as with my graphs, the "scale" of my individual "cable" stitch was made to create a graph that closely resembles what the actual smocked figure will look like. If you're a smocker and have stitched a variety of different designer's work, you know that no two are alike. I have no explanation for this fact. In fact, I am changing my graphs to combine the color graph and the "numbered graph". Hopefully this will make picture smocking easier.


I, not being too blogging savvy, haven't been able to figure out how to link my pdf.doc of the graph paper to this particular post. Anyone with tips or tricks to share....I would be so thankful for your help. Until then, anyone wanting the pdf download .... just leave your email address and I will send it. The pdf.doc prints quite nice as you can see if you click the photo. I have so much to learn!
Happy Smocking
Gwen

Neato!! I can't wait until you get your Cinderella design finished. I had better hustle and get that Alice in Wonderland done that you had in Sew Beautiful!

I have no clue how to attach a PDF either. I am still struggling with my drawing programs, trying to do them with as little help from my hubby as possible.

I love your graph paper though. I want to try some.

Happy Thursday Gwen. I hope your day is as lovely as you are.

Laurie said...

Looks REALLY nice Gwen!! I sent you instructions on how to attach a PDF within your blog post - let me know if you need more assistance.

I'd love to have the smocking graph paper! Thanks!

I save our newsletter as a pdf and email it as an attachment. I downloaded the free program at dopdf.com
It 'acts' like a printer but instead of printing, you save your files as pdfs and can then attach them to emails. Works like a charm for me! Hope this helps.

Dear Gwen well first let me say thank you for stopping by to leave a nice comment and for becoming a follower:)
I just love meeting new people especially a nice Southern gal! OK so true confessions:...I have always, always wanted to be a "Southern Belle" and have a beautiful southern accent (I actually do it quite well:) and live in the South...and wear a smocked ball gown! OK so its out, I said it:)
Anyway I love your blog and adore smocking (wish I had grand girls to dress but my grand boys are still cute:)
Again, thank you for stopping I am now your latest follower:)

Hi Gwen,
I would love to get your graph paper in pdf. I have not smocked in many years, but want to smock a dress for my granddaughter for Christmas. I actually got to you page via a google search trying to find the website for "Creative Needle". Sadly, I learned that it was no longer published. I have found a few smocking designs on the internet for no money, and ordered a few off e-bay (not here yet though) Your paper would be a big help in planning a design for my dress. Thanks, Cindy

Beth Childs - I have just re-entered the world of smocking. I smocked all of my daughter's (now 31) dresses, rompers, jumpsuits, etc. when she was young. Now I have a grandson to smock for. I was trying to create a new design specifically for him and stumbled across you blog on pinterest this morning. I would love to try your smocking graph paper, I think that would help me tremendously in this project. If you are still providing it, please email to bethjoneschilds@yahoo.com

Happy Smocking to all!

Gwen, I would love to have a copy of your graph. I am having a difficult time trying to find a pattern to match the fabric I am going to use to make a dress for my first granddaughter who is due in October. It has a white background with clusters of peaches. (She is being named after my mom, Georgia, and I am already calling her my "Mala Peachesa" (little peach, in Czech). Bought the fabric from Spoonflower, and tips or suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thank you.
