Holiday Smocking Plates
Eight seasonal plates in holiday colors: Christmas, Easter, Valentine, Halloween, autumn and Thanksgiving. They are short bands meant for bodices, pillowcases and stocking cuffs, and they reuse the same stitches as the beginner set. The collection costs $19 once, with no subscription, and arrives as a ZIP with eight print ready PDFs, eight SVG charts and a short read me.
