I’m also nervous about the hat portion of the costume, as I’m imagining a pad stitching situation over a dense cotton/wool batting is going to be necessary. I’ve never done pad stitching before and if I go with it, there will be a LOT of it.
There will also likely be pleatwork #embroidery aka #smocking . I’m sure it will be beautiful, it will just have a lot of my blood and tears stitched into it, too.

Doing a little sewing in the wood shop today. I love working communally. I am marking out my pleats for smocking, as a zero waste patterning experiment. #smocking #sewing #zerowaste #sustainablefashion #sewingproject #diy #fashion

Shirring, Smocking, What's the Difference?

What is the difference between embroidery and smocking?
Traditional English Smocking is hand embroidery stitched over pre-pleated fabric. The fabric is pleated either by hand or with a pleater by using parallel rows of stitches to form the pleats. Decorative embroidery is done over the top of the pleats to both hold the pleats and provide an attractive design.

A fascinating video on fabric pleating (in French): https://invidious.fdn.fr/watch?v=9jklE9XdkG4

They sandwich fabric inside folded cardboard forms, and then steam it to make it keep the pleats.

The cardboard forms are very reminiscent of origami tessellations.

I have just put the finishing touches to my hand stitched traditional english working smock. Based on a 19th century #norfolk example, but made floor length with added pockets. It is made from an old thick cotton sheet dyed blue. There is nothing like trying to make something you admire to teach you how much time and effort are required to achieve it. It gives you much more respect for the pre machine age workers skills. #handmade #needlework #costume #traditional #smocking #embroidery

Details of the construction of the arm of my reconstruction of a traditional hand sewn Norfolk workers smock. This shows the square gusset under the arm that gives a good range of movement to the arm. The full arm is gathered in at the wrist so it does not get in the way while working. These practical elements have been developed into decorative features. #needlwork #textiles #embroidery #Norfolk #smocking #costume #handmade

Discovering my regional #costume heritage by creating a traditional #Norfolk workers smock of #18thcentury #19thcentury lengthen to floor length to combat cold drafty house. The design is based on an example in the #V&A from the #Diss area. It is not an exact replica but an exploration of the methods and the time it takes to hand stitch the whole garment. It looks a simple garment but it has taken many many more hours than I expected. The gathering for the #smocking #embroidery particularly.

Because I took a picture of this for nonsense on birbsite, here's a picture of my #smocking machine.

You can feed really thin fabric into this and it pleats up to twenty-four rows of stitches at once. There are little knobs at each end of the gears which turn, that you can't see in this picture.

Using one of these involves a ridiculous amount of time breaking and re-threading needles until you get the hang of it.
