2smock

A lifetime in the making

2smock began way back in the early 1980’s in South Africa when a young mum with a love of smocking formed a group producing high quality smocked goods for the Johannesburg area called “Et-e-ken”. However by the mid 1980’s it was apparent that a move was in order and with much heartache and tears the young family moved to Australia to begin a new chapter of their life. Throughout it all the young mother continued to create lovingly smocked dresses and nightwear for her family and friends. Unfortunately as is all too often the case the pressures of raising a family saw her pleater and sewing machine spend more time in the cupboard than in use. Not wanting to give up her passion she turned the process of traditional smocking upside down. By gathering and assembling a few items in a weekend she would have plenty of smocking to keep her busy and she would only have to keep her inquisitive children away from her sewing one weekend a month. As family and friends saw the practicality of the idea producing easy to smock garments and kits was born.

Since the initial launch of 2smock we’ve launched two classic styles that form our basic range. We’ve learnt a lot about moving from home business into manufacturing and have some exciting new releases already and waiting for production.

We are also exploring new technologies to bring you the very best support and information to help anyone learn to smock.

Our Products

2smock products are designed to be blank canvases for your smocking. Originally designed to be sold as kits we’ve found that there are really only so many scissors and needles that one person needs. So to reduce wastage we now offer the products as standalone ready 2smock garments. We do still offer the add on accessories packs to turn any product into a kit for a nominal price.
