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
WOW - how clever are you! I love the art smock - especially the space ship for my little boy. But too cute to get dirty.
I have printed the pattern from your pdf - thank you so much. Best pattern on the WWW!

Hi, I'd love a copy of your pattern thanks. You've been inspiring me for awhile now but I am yet to say thanks - so a big THANKS VERY MUCH now : ) I am trying to be realistic with what I can make the kids for Christmas and have been looking forward to your pattern so I can include your great smock! I'm very excited about more home made gifts this year, oooooooohh. Your work is exquisite and I'm so thankful for people like you who let us all in on it. Inspirational : )

thank you so much for providing such a beautiful and inspiring tutorial. if the spaceship smock is still up for grabs i'd love it for my little boy. we've just bought him a fully recyclable cardboard play house and i need a smock for him to wear so he can paint it. if i don't win the smock i'll be sure to have a go at making it.

I would love a copy of the pattern pieces to make a smock for art making in our home. What type of fabric are you using? Is it feasible to use a wipe-off type fabric or is it too difficult to work with?
