Picture smocked bishops for all seasons! Enjoy these specially curated kits to create a festive garment just like the ones pictured. Your kit will be made using View A of the Children's Corner Bishop pattern with short smocked sleeves. You may remove the pleater threads and shorten if you prefer the banded puff sleeve.

See how on our blog.

This kit includes:
Fabric
Dress Cut to Size
Short Sleeve Sewn In
Pleated Yoke and Sleeves
Picture Smocking Plate
Floss

For finishing touches we recommend these products, not included:

What is a Cut, Sew, Pleat?
We will cut, sew in the sleeves and pleat the yoke for your project. After you smock, you will simply finish the dress. The instructions in this pattern (sold separately) will walk you through how to finish the easy self-faced placket with a seam up the center back.

The Children's Corner Bishop pattern is sold separately.

Please note there is a 1-2 week fulfillment time for this product and may ship separately.
