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

Absolutely gorgeous! I have been looking to make my own art smock for my 18 month boy who starts playgroup next Friday! So your pattern will come in handy! I have many friends also with kidies and was thinking its a great gift idea. I just love the first floral smock. It's just perfect for my god-daughter!
Thanking you for your crafty ideas. I just love alittle creativity to keep the mind healthy!

Wow, those are beautiful. My dd would like to win the flowered one! Saw your post on SM and decided to come look at the other things. You do wonderful work. Susan

I have just discovered your blog. It is beautiful! I know I am a year or so late, but could you e-mail me the pattern for the kindergarten smock?
Posted by: Mary Angerer | September 30, 2009 at 12:45 PM
Those are really cute art smocks. It would be nice to have something to cover sleeves like your design does. At the school where I teach, the kids just throw on an oversized Tshirt. This is very classy!
Posted by: Kathy Link | October 18, 2009 at 11:38 AM
I created two, one for my niece and one for my nephew, i didn't do applique, but I loved the pattern as I had been looking for a full sleeve smock pattern and could not find any.

Thanks a bunch!

These are stunning smocks! Can I ask how old the children in the photos are - or what ages you think your smock will fit. Thanks for going to the trouble of making a tute :)

Would love this pattern if stilll available. They would be perfect for my granddaughter who needs to go to hospital for brain surgery. This could be so easily adapted to suit her needs. Jane.

I would absolutely love one of these for my daughter who is at her first day of kindergarten right as we speak :) if you should choose me-I can pay c.o.d. If that helps I would just really love something bright and colourful and girlie for my little girlie because around here smocks are hard to find thank you muchly, Peggy :)
Posted by: Peggy Bygrave | September 03, 2010 at 03:07 AM
I wanted to say I love this!!! I have looked everywhere for a long-sleeved art smock for my daughter for kindergarten and there is nothing out there. I printed out the PDF pattern you offer and took it to my local print shop. They blew it up 105% (she wears a 6x) and it fits her PERFECT! She loves it and she is the most fashionable kindergartener around. :) Very easy to make and FUN, FUN, FUN.
Posted by: Linda | September 03, 2010 at 12:26 PM
I love these. They are so adorable. Please send me the pattern. :)
Posted by: Melissa Moore | September 16, 2010 at 05:14 AM
Great fun pattern.
When I print the pattern out, and take it to the printer, what is the enlargement % I should ask for. "actual size" equals ??.
Thanks in advance for the extra help!
Posted by: Mary M | September 17, 2010 at 12:49 AM
OMG !!!!! I finally found the tuto I was looking for for months and the art smock are so cute. I would be freaking out if I could win the flower smock. I little would be so cute in it. I can't wait to have the instruction on how to assemble the art smock. I just started sewing and I think I would be a great project to start with. Thanks
Posted by: Isabelle | October 01, 2010 at 02:37 AM

I love this art smock patter, what is the scale so I can blow it up,i.e. how many inches long is the arm supposed to be actual size and how long is the body supposed to be from neck to hem?
Thanks

Your art smocks are so lovely. Could you please email me the pattern. My daughter is starting school this year and I think home made smocks are so much more lovely than bought ones.
Thanks, Kellie Stewart

Could you email me the art smock pattern
Thank you
Posted by: Tilly McIntyre | July 02, 2011 at 02:41 PM
will the print shop understand how big to make the pattern if I just tell them to print it "plan sized" or do I need to tell them something more (like make it 150% bigger).
Posted by: Liesa Nichols | August 05, 2011 at 11:54 AM
I would love to have the pattern download, but am unable to make it work. Please help me. Thanks, I volunteer in a Catholic school and would love to make the paint smock for the art students. Lynn

I LOVE these smocks. I am a preschool teacher and I need to get sewing fast. Thank you so much for the pattern and the inspiration.

Hi, just found your pattern, Thankyou! just in time for my grandaughters 2nd birthday, I have bought her paints and intend to make an apron to complete the gift. They all look lovely! Thanks, Lyn.
Posted by: Lyn | September 19, 2011 at 10:51 AM
I'm working on a pattern for a art smock in laminated cotton for a friend and I wonder what made you go with a raglan sleeve rather than a standard set in sleeve. I love your smocks - I only hope mine look half as good.
Posted by: Rachael Rabbit | October 11, 2011 at 12:02 PM
I love these Smocks my little girl will be going to big school next year and I would love to make her one of these, could you send me a pattern with sizing for 4-7. Thanks
Posted by: Katrina | November 08, 2011 at 11:20 AM
Hi Kellie, I'm a sewer, but haven't done so for many years. I'm now a Granny and love the smock pattern. Tried to come up with a pattern for my grandaughter and couldn't remember how to cut the sleeves and put it all together, this has been a great help. All the best
Posted by: Sue Lovric | November 24, 2011 at 01:59 PM
I printed the pattern off at Office Depot, but they had various plan sizes, and when I cut out the patterns tonight (on my transfer paper, thankfully) I realized that whatever size I chose was obviously the wrong size... the sleeves are triple the size of the shirt. Do you know what plan size you used for the sleeves and shirt pieces? I'm hoping to make this for my 4 yr old niece for Christmas and in the future, one for my 1.5 yr old daughter who's already loving arts and crafts, but the pattern is obviously much too big for her right now. Thanks so much, I love your tutorial and was so happy I found it!
Posted by: Danielle | December 04, 2011 at 02:15 PM
How much does the pdf need to be enlarged? I live ia rural area and don't have a copy center nearby. If I knew the enlargement figure (150%, 200%, etc.) I could hand draw the pattern on butcher paper or something like that to make the actual pattern.
Posted by: Karen James | January 21, 2012 at 03:30 AM
WOW these are so gorgeous! This is going to make a wonderful gift for my niece for her very first day of school! Thanks for supplying the pattern for free!
Posted by: Vicki | January 24, 2012 at 12:23 PM
This is just adorable. I'm going to make this smock as a "First Day of Kindy" gift for my niece. Might even make a libary bag to match! Thanks for the free pattern!
Posted by: Vicki | February 01, 2012 at 02:40 PM
Is this still available to get tute emailed? Looks fab! My addy is mandymoo_1984@hotmail.com Thankyou :)
Posted by: Mandy | February 08, 2012 at 10:39 PM
these look fabulous id love to give them a go - just wondering how do i ask at the copy shop for "actual size" enlargements? many thanks
Posted by: elise | February 23, 2012 at 01:19 PM
Would you tell me exatly how big do you enlage the smock pattern
Posted by: Gwen | February 29, 2012 at 05:42 AM
Thank you so much for your pattern! I run a preschool and have been looking for an all-over smock for our "creative" times. I sent the patterns to be printed but was told it would cost $40 for each piece...WHAT???
I wonder if you could give me some rough dimensions on the patterns. I can figure it out from there.
Thank you so much-in advance!!!
