The word "smock" is a derivation of the Anglo Saxon word "smocc", a loose fitting garment or shift/ Smocking was the needlework applied to these garment for decoration and to control fullness of the material. Workers wore smocks in the fields because of the loose fit and the "give" that the smocking allowed. Different designs such as trees, hearts, crooks and crosses were used to suggest the professional of the wearer.Smocking is very popular and not limited to "little girls" as some think. Romper suits for boys, bloused for ladies, tuxedo and tunic tops for men, evening dresses and caftans are just a few of the clothes to which smocking can be applied. Smocking on lampshades, flowerpot holders, pocketbooks, pockets, collars and cuffs add dimension to this art. Smocking does not have to be a large, time consuming project. A small 6" x 4" rectangle looks lovely on a sampler, the bib of an apron, pillow front or tote bag.SHIPPING INCLUDES TRACKING NUMBER.
