Our Online Video Courses

There is an online video course for each Pink Hollybush Pattern as well as our Learn to Smock Course. Take your time, learn a new skill and expand your sewing knowledge.  At Pink Hollybush Designs we teach modern smocking through our courses and patterns so moms and grandmas can create a hand stitched garment that children adore. In particular we focus on helping sewists smock knit garments that busy mamas don't have to iron and that children love to wear because they are so soft and comfortable.
