Smocking Collaboration Process
In this collection, I collaborated with my mother, Leslyn Rushing- a master fiber artist who has been smocking for over 30 years. We worked together to design our own smocking patterns, creating uniquely shaped panels to modernize a craft so rooted in the past.
Pleating machine used to prepare fabric for smocking
We prepped pieces together, then panels were smocked by Leslyn and mailed to me to be inserted/finished in garments.
