Kim Sanders is an embroidery teacher and designer who represents the Embroiderers’ Guild of America. Smocking is embroidery on pleats or embroidery that causes the fabric to pleat. We usually associate smocking with children’s clothing, but English smocks were originally men’s garments because the smocking provided elasticity for ease of movement. The EGA is headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky.
