My grandmother used to make these pillows and give them to family. She took great care in her perfection of beer pillows. I always admired them. I didn't even know what it was called. She died never passing on this trade. Years later I found 2 templates just full of designs to make these beautiful pillows. I never found anyone who knew what they were for! They did not have instructions. All of you who know how to do this please don't let it die with you. There are still some of us out here who want to learn this lost skill/art/trade. I'm not giving up my templates. ..I'm glad I found this video. Thank you.

Also, these are great. I've recently gotten interested in smocking and all the online guides I've looked at are good but I've always preferred to see a demo of a technique before giving it ago myself. Looks like my dad might finally get those cushions he wanted me to do :D

This is totally new to me and I found this video difficult to understand. A little more explanation would help. For me, the music was very distracting. Would love to learn this technique. Thanks!

I'm sorry if this video didn't help you much, I will try my best to upload a quick step by step video on this, a little more clear so that you can understand this, and learn this technique.

I'll redo it. It isn't a fixed size, in the video, the little squares that are for the flowers, was about 2cm by 2cm, and the larger squares were about 6cm by 6 cm .

I love the end result but could you redo it in a darker ink....for demo purposes only...my eyes are old and tired. Thanks again it is beautiful

Hi Rose I don't completely understand how this here can you please do it step by step what are the measurements of the squares?

How do we figure out where to put all of those pattern lines? Is there fabric that already have the lines on it?

Really excellent video!! You make it seem do-able, which is really something because I've always been SO scared to try smocking. Thanks so very much. :)
