Welcome to "The Needlearts Collection of Ellen McCarn".

McCarn Enterprises, Inc. was founded upon the love of fine sewing and stitchery. With thanks to wonderful customers such as yourselves, we have been in business since 1979, designing, inventing, publishing and manufacturing English Smocking design plates, booklets, patterns and related items - quality products for creative people!

Our Web Site features a our lines of popular design plates, booklets, and patterns. Detailed and easy-to-follow instructions (with lots of pictures) make the 24-page instruction booklets included a must for classes and at-home use. We want you to have great success with your smocking and construction!

Support your local needlework shops and fabric stores and purchase our designs direct from them. We'll be happy to help you find a store in your area. However, if there is not a store in your area that carries our merchandise, call or write for information about mail-order sources so we can help you get started in the wonderful world of smocking!
