Smock Pieces - handkerchief linen

Linen thread for smock

Cuff bands

Smock - neckline take 1

This neckline did not work under the kirtle: the edge showed up under the V in the bacl of the kirtle.

Whitework take 1 - silk on linen

I loved the texture of this, but my embroidery skills were not able to get the look I wanted.

Whitework neckline for smock take 2 - linen on linen

The embroidery for this was smoother, but I was not able get a consistently good stitch. In time!

When my whitework skills are up to par, this is the look I would like to have on my smock neckline.
