OK so here is the Art Smock tutorial as promised. I have included it in PDF format for you to download as I would have been here until next week trying to get Typepad to cope with it!
It was a little tricky trying to work out how I would include the pattern pieces but I finally decided that a PDF file would have to do.
Oh and I almost forgot ... because we have enough art smocks here to sink a ship I am going to give away the two that I made for this pattern. If you would like one then leave me a comment by midnight (Australian EST) Friday the 3rd of October. Don't forget to let me know which one you would like! Also for all of my regulars who would like to join in you will get an extra entry for each comment that you left over the last 10 posts.
Smock - front & back pattern pieces
Smock - applique shapes & placement guide flower garden
Smock - applique shapes rocket ship
Once you have this file you will need to take it to a copy center capable of printing plan sized copies and have them print it out at it's ACTUAL size - this is the only way to print this pattern
Have a great weekend
Kellie

Oh thanks so much Kellie for putting this pattern up for us. Please do include me in the e-mail. I'm at...what else....?

Also since I have two young girls, if I were to win your draw, I would love the adorable flowery smock and then I would only have to make one more. (that is, until my children's friends see them, and start hinting too)
Posted by: Deb C | September 28, 2008 at 07:40 AM
Oooh, so pretty! I would love to be entered in the draw! I have little girls and little boys, so either would be lovely!
BTW could you please e-mail me the pattern pieces? Thankyou!

Thank you so much for the Art Smock tutorial, I have been sitting here with fingers crossed waiting for it!!

My grand-daughters would actually live in the smocks, it would be very difficult to get them to part with them!! LOL

Posted by: Erin K | September 29, 2008 at 06:57 AM
Oh, those are just too sweet! I'd love (love) either, but as my son is only 2 I think the darling flower smock would make my daughter about the happiest girl on the block! Thanks for the giveaway:)

Posted by: Adds | September 29, 2008 at 09:06 AM
Kellie, they really are a work of art. You are so clever - not sure if I would put my kaffe in an art smock though.
Posted by: Cathy | September 29, 2008 at 11:58 AM
They are gorgeous. I think I would like a tutorial, too. Please add me to the drawing for the flower smock.
Posted by: Kathy | September 29, 2008 at 08:38 PM
Oohhh! I've been drooling over those smocks since you made them for the birthday party. How exciting that you are giving these away! I signed my 5yr old daughter up for art class this year and that smock with the flowers would be an absolutely fabulous surprise for her!
I'd also greatly appreciate it if you would email me the tutorial as I have another daughter who would love to have one as well...and several little friends and nieces and nephews that would love one for Christmas!
Posted by: angela | September 29, 2008 at 10:35 PM
Hi Kellie - you truly are inspirational. I would love to go into the draw for one of your original art smocks as I'm sure my little one will love it when he finally gets to put his creative skills to work. Can you please email me the pattern pieces as well. Thanks heaps, Catherine
Posted by: Catherine | September 29, 2008 at 11:34 PM
Great tutorial and giveaway. I'd love that flower one!! :o)
Any chance that I might be able to get a copy of the pattern pieces please. If I'm not fortunate to win one of your lovely smocks for my DD I'd like to make her one for Christmas.
Thanks
Posted by: Jane Weston | September 29, 2008 at 11:37 PM

Posted by: Kathy Wetherell | September 30, 2008 at 03:18 AM
Thanks for your generosity in preparing the tutorial and giving away the smocks. You are so talented! I'd love to win the flowery one for my daughter although it is so beautiful, I'm not sure I'd let her get paint all over it!
