Not sure if this is actually called the diamond smock...but it has diamond shape :) hence I'd say it's the diamond smock :p....correct me if I'm wrong. It is quite easy to do. You just need a piece of polka dot material which you can smock to make a bag or anything you want :). Here's how you do it:
1. This is the diagram of how you should smock it. The needle should come out from 1 after you make a knot at the back, then go in to 2 and come out at 3, go in at 4 and come out at 5, go in at 6 and come out at 7 and go in at 8 and pull it strong and tie at the back

Thank you Lia! I just tried an example of this and I really like the bubbly effect it gives. I have blogged my example and linked back to your tutorial :) I did one or two things ever so slightly different.
Hi Lia,
I just stumbled upon your blog today from Burdastyle. Love your matching Mother's Day dresses! And really learned a lot from your diamond smock tutorial. Will try it out soon!
Are you in Peninsular Malaysia? I am from the East M.
I 'used' to sew for my dollies but I have stopped for a while since my bb came along. After I read your blog I felt like sewing again!
