Now, I think that my linen obsession is nothing new, but I've added smocked linen to that obsession. I'd love to know how to do smocking, but unfortunately I have more than enough on my plate for the time being!
Since I don't have the time to learn this skill, I'm going to have to be satisfied with some vintage smocked linens I bought on eBay and these gorgeous images of crisp white linen!
hi melissa, i am sith you on that!!! especially love the last peice... I tried sewing (what i call a belly button!!! ) rosette type thing... didnt look quite right though... I think i didnt make it big enough. I looked inside some in a store once and elastic was used sewn in a sort of spiral... probably not sounding like i am making any sense!!! but I did have a look on the net to try to find some tutorials with no luck! will just have to save our pennies! Hope you are well! you look great in the post below! Hugs from Laura xxx
I'm a designer/maker with a passion for beautiful clothes and homewares, a love of sewing and yarn crafts - and a little bit of an obsession with knitting looms!
I love making clothes and bags, handmade cushions and home decor, as well as crocheted hats, scarves and textile jewellery. My blog is a little bit about my life and lot about what inspires me to create new things. :)
I love vintage clothing and a lot of my inspiration comes from vintage fashions, and working with preloved items to make new, unique items. I love unexpected combinations and my perfect outfit or ideal room is one that combines vintage pieces with unique, handmade items.

I adore linen, so smocked linen would be even more wonderful!
All of your images are very sweet.

Those textures are so yummy! I'm totally on board with your obsession :) XOL
