Based on Canadian smocking, these techniques do not lend themselves to a real time workshop. Therefore, I have chosen to offer a demonstration where I will explain three different pleating techniques and how to apply them to make scarves. I will record the demonstration for students to refer back to, or watch later, if they cannot attend in person.
