This was great and exactly what I was looking for. Could find how to make pleats, but not how to calculate the fabric -- and you showed us how so easily! Thank you.
this was a great tutorial! I've been procrastinating working on my skirt because I didn't know how to calculate the pleats, this helped a lot!! thank you from Australia!
Watching from 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 Such a great video tutorial that you made . It's a big help for me to understand and calculate the fabric needed for my desired depth of pleats and how to calculate fabric in the whole process of pleated skirt Thank you so much for sharing
Hi mam, I've a fabric of 3.5 metre(140 inch). I want to stitch a box pleated skirt with waist measurement of 35 inch. How much do i need to take measurement for each box pleat. Can you please guide me
I just discovered your channel and loved your videos ❤❤ just a small note , the music is louder than your voice n it would be better if you turn it down a little
Hi Sophie. Happy you're here! Thanks for the heads up. We've already made the adjustment in our recent videos. So there's no music during the tutorial.
They are actually the same thing. The words can be used interchangeably, but more often than not, they are referred to as box pleats... I would say 'kissing pleats is a less formal reference'
Hi Ray, to do that you would divide the waist measurement by the width of the pleat. So, if the waist measurement is 28" and each pleat needs to be 2" wide. 28/2= 14. So you would need 14 2" pleats for a 28" waist. Hope you understand
Hi hi. Remember it's 30". There are 30 1" in 30. You would multiply each of those 1" by 3, hence 30" x 3. I tried to simplify it... hope it makes sense.
@@deijah2228 Mmmmm. I'm a little unclear about your question but I'll do my best to explain. In body measurements, 'width' refers to measurement around areas. For example, waist, hip, and bust. For length, you measure from top to bottom. For example waist to knee or knee to ankle. Your waist measurement is not the judgment for the length of the skirt. The length depends on your preference. So for that, measure from your waist toward the floor. stop at the length you would like. Could be the floor, your knee, below the knee above the knee, wherever. It's your preference. Hope this was helpful.
Lovely tutorial. Very simple to understand. I would love to join in the live. Morning between 8 and 11 would be perfect. But will try to join I no matter what time is selected
I just started learning to sew and I was thinking about this and i came across your video. Thanks for sharing. Can the two excess inches be used for the zip?
I have a question what if the skirt or dress already has the pleated but the skirt or dress is too long and you just want to make it shorter. If you cut it and sew it will that damage or lose it pleated
Hi Bailey. No, cutting and sewing will not cause the skirt to lose the pleats. When you're done, just lay the pleats properly (you can use straight pins to hold them in place) and iron the skirt.
@@rgieasysewings Can you do a video on this subject because no one had made a video on it. You search on youtube there are tons and tons on how to make a pleated skirt but not a single one of them teach you on how to make a it shorter without damage or losing it's pleated

Can you please guide me
I love sewing the measureing is my problem im in jamaica thanks

Thank you so much. Can we use this technique for calculating the amount of fabric required for box pleats also?

Well-detailed tutorial, I understood everything except the part you divided 86 by 36, My question now is how you got the 36 you divided with the 86
Hi Obiefule! 36 Inches make 1 yard. So dividing the 86 by 36 was to determine how many yards we would get in 86 inches.
36 inches equals 1 yard. So this is to find out how many yards of fabric you will need.
What's the difference between a box pleat and kissing pleat
They are actually the same thing. The words can be used interchangeably, but more often than not, they are referred to as box pleats... I would say 'kissing pleats is a less formal reference'
Thanku
Glad we could help!
Hello,
Do you have a video on how to cut a notched collar jacket?
Hi there. Sorry I don't right now. But we can do one in the future .
Thanks 👍
You're welcome
Hi what would be the calculation for 2” pleats.
For 1 pleat that is 2” we would need 6” of fabric
So shud we multiply waist * 6 ?
Hi Cynthia. Yes, that's correct. Remember to add sewing allowance for seams.
Thanks you miss
You're welcome
Yes it was clear
Awesome!
Pls I have a question, " How did you get the 36"?
Hi Yaa Saah, Can you be more specific? Or perhaps you can indicate the time in the video you're referring to.
Thanks, how do u calculate 38 hips pls
Hey Hilda. No need to calculate hip measurement when making a pleated skirt, because of the excess fabric, it's guaranteed to be wider than your hip
How do you calculate the amount of pleats that are needed?
Hi Ray, to do that you would divide the waist measurement by the width of the pleat. So, if the waist measurement is 28" and each pleat needs to be 2" wide. 28/2= 14. So you would need 14 2" pleats for a 28" waist. Hope you understand
Thank you so much.
@@raybrown1145 you're welcome
This is a great tutorial if i want 2" pleats and my waist is 30 I know I divide by 2 so I would have 15 2" pleats but do I still multiply by 3
Thanks. Yes you should still multiply by 3. The measurement per pleat would be 2 X 2 X 2
@@rgieasysewings Thanks so it means that my fabric would be 90" plus seam allowance for a 30" waist
Yes. That's correct
Shouldn't it be 30 ×6. Since you said every 1 Inch pleat equals 3 inches. Correct me if I'm wrong please.@@rgieasysewings
Hi hi. Remember it's 30". There are 30 1" in 30. You would multiply each of those 1" by 3, hence 30" x 3. I tried to simplify it... hope it makes sense.
Most materials are 60"wide how many i need for knife pleate skirt
The amount you would need depends on the waist measurement
Hiiii, what would be the side width ? That’s what I’m confused about
Hey Deijah, no problem! We're to help. You'd have to give some details though. What are you referring to as the 'side width '?
@@rgieasysewings the skirt length. My waist is 36in, Would that be my judgment on how short I want it to be right ?
@@deijah2228 Mmmmm. I'm a little unclear about your question but I'll do my best to explain. In body measurements, 'width' refers to measurement around areas. For example, waist, hip, and bust.

Hope this was helpful.

Well explained
Thank you
Great explanation
Thank you
Get job
Thoroughly explained. Thank you sis
The calculation you made for the waist measurement divided by 3, is it for a pleat of one inch only or it can be used for up to 2 inches and more
Lovely tutorial. Very simple to understand. I would love to join in the live. Morning between 8 and 11 would be perfect. But will try to join I no matter what time is selected
Ok. Thanks for telling us. Chances are it would be an evening video... But let's wait and see.
