I love it! A smocking-related podcast? Well, knock me over with a feather! It appears that the craft is being dragged, millimeter by creaking millimeter, into the 21st century. Connie sounds like a hoot – she’s tackling my Illustrator tutorial right now – and the idea of a smocking podcast just strikes me as a great idea.

So many of us are orphans, who smock and sew alone. A lucky minority can share their enthusiasm in person, through guilds and the like, but for the rest of us the internet’s a great way to connect to others, no matter the distance, and share ideas, inspiration and commiseration. There are forums and blogs and now…podcasts. You can have a listen below or check her out at http://smockingbee.blogspot.com/.
