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
Woo, I love it! Such pretty design!

An art smock?? Are you kidding? I don't think I could handle it if something this cute got messy! Absolutely adorable.

I love your smocks!! Your applique is amazing. We have 4 little girls in this house that would love to fight over your girl smock ;o).

Really cute! I have a hard time finding the "full-bodied" smocks (especially for my son), so this is great! Love the rocketship design! Thanks.

Posted by: Tanya | October 01, 2008 at 08:43 PM
I am loving them both, but especially the girly one with flowers.
Posted by: Melony at Whimsy Daisy! | October 02, 2008 at 12:02 AM
Those smocks are just lovely...and so are those darling models! I have three girls, myself and we're always crafting, so this smock pattern will really come in handy! Thank you so much for taking the time to post it, especially with the typepad issues. I'm a novice sewer, and applique frightens me something terrible, but I'm determined to try this out anyway!
I found you from One Pretty Thing. If I win one of these adorable smocks, I would LOVE the rocket one!! I was an astrophysics major in college, and love to share my passion for the stars with my girls! Now I'm off to check out the rest of your blog in the hopes that I might garner myself some extra entries...unless being a new reader doesn't count, and in that case I'll just benefit from reading your great blog!

Do you mind emailing me the PDF for your tutorial? Thank you so much!
Posted by: The Mommy | October 02, 2008 at 12:34 AM
Thanks for the tutorial! I'd love to win the rocket/space smock!

Hello Kellie,
I think your creation is wonderful. Could you please email me the pattern ? annel44@yahoo.com. Thank you a lot.
And about the contest. Well I would love to get the flowery one for my little daughter.
Posted by: Annel | October 02, 2008 at 01:47 AM
Very cute smocks. Thank you for the tutorial. If you could email me the pattern pieces at dgporterhouse@cox.net.
Also you can put me in the drawing for either one they are both adorable.Donita
Posted by: Donita | October 02, 2008 at 01:50 AM
These are adorable. Would you please send me the the pattern piece pdf?
And if we were so lucky as to win a smock, we'd be happy with either, though we'd probably get more use from the girl's smock.
Thanks so much!
Posted by: Stephanie H. | October 02, 2008 at 02:22 AM
absolutely love the smocks!! it's simple, easy to follow instructions for a beginner like myself. Thank you kindly Kellie for sharing this tutorial. I'm planning to use this pattern for my daughter and show it to you. Please add my email for a copy of the pattern as well as future postings. Looking forward to see more of your projects!!Love the girls sock monkeys, very cute!

I have just come back from a two week holiday in Auz and have had so much fun this morning catching up on all my fav quilting blogs while waiting for the washing machine to finish :) These would be just perfect for my niece and nephew, I would love the pattern peieces. Thanks so much for sharing your amazing talents

Hi Kellie, I'd love the pattern and to be entered into the draw for the girl's smock. Gorgeous,

Please e-mail me the pattern too. Very cute, I love the flowers, but it is awesome that you made a boy version, they seem harder to find,
Posted by: Connie | October 02, 2008 at 12:28 PM
Those smocks are gorgeous - and can't get over the beautiful party props - so inspiring! I'd love to win the rocket smock - but looks far too nice for messy play!
Posted by: Katie | October 02, 2008 at 12:34 PM
How neat! I would love the email!
Posted by: stephanie | October 02, 2008 at 12:57 PM
WOW! Great you did IT!!!! Not that I have much of a use for children's smocks at them moment but I know where to go if I ever need one.
Congratulations....
Posted by: Fiona@Dragonfly-Crafts | October 02, 2008 at 02:54 PM
Alright. These are ridiculously cute. I simply CAN NOT decide which I like better-which happens to be perfect since...I have a boy AND a girl both would be thrilled with one! So, I would say on the off chance I was picked-SURPRISE me! Then, I'll make the "other" gender one thanks to your fantastic tutorial and I'll be two Christmas presents down! :-) Maybe you ought to email the pattern pieces for me though! Thanks!!!
Posted by: Rebecca | October 02, 2008 at 10:24 PM
I love this pattern! I have been tring to make my daughter something like this and can not find the pattern that I wanted, but this is it! Could you please send me the pattern?
Thanks!
P.s. Love your blog!
Posted by: Amanda | October 03, 2008 at 12:05 AM
Hello,
This is the cutest little art smock I've seen....love it. could you please email me the pattern pieces. I'm having a problem downloading the PDF file for the instructions, could you by chance email this also? I would also love to be included in the giveaway, and I don't think mine would look half as nice as yours!!
Thanks!
Jenny

Posted by: Megan S. | October 03, 2008 at 04:46 AM
These are lovely. I fell in love with the flowery one. I wish I could sew (sigh) :)
Posted by: Bezen | October 03, 2008 at 05:05 AM
These are really cute! I am going to have to get my mom to look at this pattern (she's the sewing-type and I'm the breaking the machine-type). I'd love to win one, but do you ship to California?
