I can't believe I actually finished something. I finished the smocking part over the weekend — it really does take a long time to pleat everything by hand, I will say; I think I used about four rows of pleating down the length of the design, and it was a whooooole lotta width. But I dig it. You can watch movies while you do it. I really enjoyed the process, and I do love the sweet, rustic, sort of fairytale way it looks.
