I never made cheerleading outfits for my grand daughter's doll because of fear of alternating color pleats! thanks for showing exactly how to place the panels and use your pattern, which can be confusing for beginners for sure!
This is a great STASH BUSTER!! You could do the under/ contrasting fabric with all sorts of coordinating scrap fabrics! And bonus if you use a relative's old clothes as the coordinating contrasting fabric! Sewing the skirt itself is just like piecing together a quilt, then adding pleats. Now I want to buy this pattern!
I love the look of these inverted pleats with the coordinating fabric. It will be fun to go through my fabric stash to find the perfect coordinating fabric .
I have not made a cheerleading outfit with alternating colour pleats but I like the look of the black & white inside the red. Very striking. The template is a great idea.
I always wondered how to create this design on skirts. You make it look so easy and now that you have also shown how to calculate how wide each fabric is needed (depending on the pleat sizes) I definitely want to try this method.
Oh my goodness so adorable. I will definitely be trying this. I have made cheerleader outfits for my boss's twins but not with pleats. That red and black is adorable.

Nice to know the difference between all the pleats you can make - love the colors for cheerleading.

I had no idea this was how these multi-color pleats are created. Cool!

I've done the alternating pleats, and I love the look. I'll the single alternate next! Thanks.
I’ve not attempted inverted pleats, but they’re really cute and you make it look achievable.
Very nice! I like the contrast color in the red skirt.
Love, Love, Love this inverted pleated skirt. It reminds me of a cheerleading skirt,
The asymmetric polka dot contrast is really sharp, and clever.
Thanks!
I love tbese skirts! I can't wait to make some for my granddaughters. I hope we will Have access to all the videos after the contest is over.❤
I thought for sure that the pieces cut for the outside pleat would’ve been the longer one so I’m gonna try it your way and hopefully it works great!
Love these pop pleates!! I will be trying this one
This is so clever!
Interesting method. I’ve done these pleats by pinning everything on my ironing board scorching my fingers as I go
Love the pop!!
so cute what a way to use up scraps of fabric
Thank you
ingenious
But how does it form a alone skirt when in was just a straight pattern?
cute!
