Can you help me find transfer dots for hand-pleating? I made a little smocked dress 40 years ago for my daughter. Now, I am using the same pattern to make the same dress for a granddaughter. Unfortunately, the transfer dots are lost. I don't trust myself to mark the dots with a pencil. I expect to do 6 rows of pleating. This is for a size 1.
Thank you,
Priscilla Taylor
Priscilla, how exciting to get to smock the same pattern for your granddaughter!
I found a couple sources for smocking dots. The brand name is Knott's Dots.
Remember to iron the dots on the wrong side of the fabric just incase they don't wash out completely.
Smock on!
