Dritz Smockruler
Remember those velvet and corduroy smocked pillows from the 1960's? I thought they were fascinating. Well, I found a smocking ruler at an estate sale and have it for sale on ETSY. All the instructions are right on the package.
Here is a news article from 1965 describing how to use the ruler...and check out the picture of Ann Landers on her column!
