If you enjoy smocking, quilting or sewing for children, you at the right site. We offer a variety of "free stuff" with our free Beginners Guide to Smocking and some free patterns for easy "learn to smock" projects. We've included some free adaptation sheets to 
expand many of of our popular children's patterns on our Free Downloads page. Please browse our catalog and view all of our smocking design plates, smocking patterns, baby quilt patterns, machine embroidery and books for creating accessories (hairbows, totebags, etc.) to complement your children's smocked clothing.
We are adding a series of children's books to our product line. Little Wise Tales present some important life lessons as heartwarming children's stories. Great Work and Good Game, the first book in the series, is a child's story of encouragement. It emphasises positive thinking, hard work, sportsmanship and overcoming disappointment. It is available now as a download for $3 and will be available in paperback later this year for $12. Click on image to view larger images of front and back cover. Click here to view ordering info.
