    I kno this has NOTHING to do with this vid, even tho i thought the necklace was awesome. Heres my pitch for an episode idea, Smocking! Theres a bunch of different techniques that i use, infact Shirin From PR won the maternity challenge with a cute smocked out dress. Ive never done the style Shirin did, but i’d love to learn. Also some people mistake ruching for a style of smocking im not sure why. Either way, theres my pitch. =]

    you can also make a turning tool out of a coat hanger. just make a mostly closed j loop on the end of a piece of coat hanger with a needle nose plier.you can pull the clothes pin with the loop (or if you are very deft, you can hook the fabric with the loop and pull the fabric through without a pin on the end…you get more fabric onto the clothes hanger and it goes much quicker.
