I am interested in doing an online course in smocking, if such a thing exists. If you know of some courses, it would be good to hear from you.

One of the best sites for smocking is no longer available, I'm afraid. But other decent ones have taken their place. Start here:

from there you can Google "smocking instructions" and find a number of sites. One of them is bound to be just what you need. You can also join Smocking Arts Guild of America

are two magazines available that focus on smocking as well as other embroidery techniques: "Creative Needle"

"Sew Beautiful"

've had two articles printed in "Sew Beautiful" and although it has changed through the years, it hangs on to its roots.Good luck in your adventures in smocking. A truly worthwhile needlework endeavor.

Another excellent magazine is "Australian Smocking and Embroidery", published by Country Bumpkin, the same people who publish Inspirations.
