Thank you so much! by the time I finished your video it all come back to me❤ from 50 years ago . (I used to hand smock all my baby daughters dresses when she was born As. she got into grade school sizes I just bought the Polly Flinders all the time😂)
Hi Maryam, thank you for your kind comments. Traditional English Smocking is pleated with a 3 to 1 ratio, so usually the width of the piece would be 3 times the finished width.

Thank you for making this video. I’m about to hand pleat a gingham and was confused. You made it so clear now. Love your videos
Thank you so much - you just made my day! Good luck with the pleating.
Excellent and clear instructions. Thank you so much
I’m sorry glad it was helpful Sally.
Just found your channel but already hooked,To prepare my fabric for hand pleating do I need to double the width of my fabric?
