This lockdown though challenging has been a blessing. I've got to sit down breath and put much effort into sewing and your tutorials have been a godsend. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for this video. It helped me a lot. I needed to make box pleats, or what you call kissing pleats. I decided to measure my pleats 6 in each. That way I could divide them equally with no remainder. I'll let you know how it turns out
thank you! this was perfect! I need to make a pleated doll skirt. This gave me exactly what I needed - your instructions make it easy for me to scale this down for a tiny doll skirt.
Thanks so much, I had to loosen the one I already made as your tutorial gave me exactly what I wanted. Let me subscribe to your channel. God bless you.
Wow! This is an excellent tutorial. Thank you for your hard work in putting this together. I subscribed so I can learn more from you. Again, THANK YOU!!!!🥰
Awwwww Penny! 🤎🤎 Thank you so so much for your kind words and for taking the time to leave this comment, it makes me happy. Thank you for subscribing 🤎🎉…. You’re a star!
Very helpful, thanks. How do I do this if I only want a few knife pleats, not pleats all around? It seems like I can adapt this by knowing how many pleats I want then multiply that by 3 (for 3" for each pleat). So if the waist is 30" and I want 6 pleats each 1" wide the math would be be 30" + (6 pleats * 3" for each pleat) = 48" of fabric. Of course the multiplier depends on the type of pleat.
Thanks so much for this ma, my question is on knife pleats, pls what if I want to use a very large pleat all round the waist, will it still be waist multiplied by 3 and what inches can I use for the large pleat, thanks upon response
The trick with this is not cramming but understanding how it works. You need to find out the width of each pleat (after folding, open it up and measure) then you do the calculations from there Hope this helps
Awwwwww Isabella, you’re kind. Thank you for your kind words. I just used regular paper. Not sure what it’s called but the ones TD students use. P.S: apologies for the tardy response 🙏🏾💕
I don’t know if you’ll ever see this.. but what should I do if a client’s waist is 48”? Meaning 48 x 3 for the pleats. Which will be about 144 in all. Yet the width of the fabric I’m cutting on is 60”.
Hi…. That’s more likely the fabric length. The fabric width is in yards or metres. Your options are get another fabric where you have more yards or don’t go for pleats, it won’t show based off that measurement ❤️
Thank you ma for the tutorial. My problem is the the division. When you use width 5 . Does it mean that , for 123 . For 1 you have 1.5, for 2 , 1.5 and for 3 you have 2.. To make it total of 5 width. thanks in anticipation.
Hello! When you’ve decided on a 5” pleat width, just do 5 divided by 3 and each section will be 1.7 approximately So 1.6,1.7,1.7 and then pleat accordingly I hope this helps ❤️
