Beginner Smocking Class - March 28 at Cedarburg Public Library

Learn the Art of Smocking: Beginning Smocking Class – Votive Cover

Have you ever admired the delicate texture and timeless beauty of English smocking and wondered how it’s done? Here’s your chance to learn! Join us for a Beginning Smocking Class where you’ll create a charming cover for a small votive candle holder while learning the fundamentals of this traditional needlework technique. 🧵

This class is designed for beginners and anyone curious about smocking. During the session, participants will learn and practice four basic English smocking stitches, including the classic cable and wave stitches.

Your project will be a decorative cover for a small glass votive holder. While it can be used with a battery-powered tea light, it also makes a lovely container for small treasures such as pins, clips, or other sewing notions.

A project kit will be provided for a $5.00 fee, and includes everything needed to get started:

• Pleated fabric

• Two colors of embroidery floss

• Needle

• Glass votive holder

• Printed instructions for finishing the project at home

Participants can choose from two color combinations:
