I remember this type of smocking from the 60's. The big pattern companies, like Simplicity, had lots of different pattern for pillows. As compared with regular smocking for heirloom sewing, this is a breeze. The grid used is at least a half inch as compared with 1/8" for traditional smocking. I can remember doing a pillow in an afternoon.

We did smocking in my Home Ec class in high school, on a toddler's dress. Turned out so darn cute but have never done any since. I have never seen that type of smocking before. It's gorgeous but very labour intensive.
