New Digital Pattern | Little Bird

We recently received an email from one of our readers, Deb Houser, who has been experiencing varying degrees of rolling coronavirus restrictions living in Italy.

Fortunately, she has her stitching to keep her going, so we were really pleased to be able to answer her request for a sought-after digital pattern. Deb writes:

‘I was pleasantly surprised to find some of your smocking patterns available digitally online. It’s my favourite pastime as I can pass on the little outfits to friends and grandchildren. I was wondering if you could include a pattern from Australian Smocking & Embroidery magazine issue 98? It is a little denim dress with embroidery around the bottom, called ‘Little Bird’.’

Little Bird is a gorgeous design by Julie Graue. This denim, sleeveless dress has a smocked centre panel and bright embroidery on the hem and yoke.

Adorned with colourful buttons, simple embroidery stitches, a smocked wave design and cheerful red gingham lining, Little Bird is sure to make everyone smile, especially the little girl who gets to wear it.

Thanks to Deb’s request, you can now download the digital pattern of Little Bird today and get started no matter where in the world you are, or what your circumstances might be.
