Before I saw this video I'd always felt pleats were too intimidating and confusing, but you made it all so clear and easy to understand. Thank you so much!

LIFE SAVER!!! SO EASY AND SIMPLE!!

[@PatternStudio101]

Thank you! Enjoy 😉

[@itsalwayshalloweenexceptwh5118]

This was so helpful. I have a pleated skirt I want to alter (need to remove skirt from waistband, make waistband bigger, re-pleat skirt, attach skirt to new waistband) but wasn't sure what type of box pleat it was. I hadn't gotten to it yet but this video conveniently took all of the mystery out of it.

[@PatternStudio101]

Hi, I’m very happy that my video solved your problem. Thank you so much for sharing this.

[@PhyllisGordon-ui4sg]

Thanks so much. You are taking me back to the very first skirt I made in home economics class. It was a knife pleated skirt. I didn't remember how to draft it. But your tutorial came just in time. You are a treasure. Thanks for all you do.

[@PatternStudio101]

Thank you for your kind comments 😊 Make your skirt and share with us!!

[@CatherineSews]

Thanks, Jin! That was SO clear and easy. And it's great to see that your channel is growing nicely! Well done!

[@PatternStudio101]

Ohhhhhh Catherine, thank you for commenting. I still watch your videos, but I haven't really left comments. I'm seeing your channel is really big already and I'm so happy for that!!

[@lalithakumarasinghe9653]

Your speaking style is very kind ..thank you very much medam ..may you live long ...

[@PatternStudio101]

Thank you for your kind words 😊

[@elakkiyarajapirabu1833]

One of the best explanation 😎

[@PatternStudio101]

Thank you 😊

[@vegababes123]

I ent no professional but am joining ur group anyway 🤪 never to hard to learn

[@PatternStudio101]

Sure! Welcome!! 😆

[@Astrocolligraphy]

Very helpful, thank you ! I have a little question, why does this skirt need to be cut bias ? Wouldn't it work on the grain ?

[@PatternStudio101]

Straight grain also works!

[@VickiCameron-tv3vf]

When you cut on the bias do the pleats sit better? I’m making a shirt dress and would like to put 2 or 3 pleats either side of the placket as I want the skirt to flow well.

[@PatternStudio101]

Sorry, I’m confused. Are you talking about shirt sleeve?

[@elnazmoghanlou2509]

😍😍

[@springflower1675]

Than you very much

[@PatternStudio101]

You're welcome 😊

[@alexandrahenson2442]

Did this pattern still work not on the bias? I'm thinking of making skirts in needlecord. Thank you.

[@PatternStudio101]

It will work both bias and straight grain. If you work with corduroy fabric, I’d cut on straight grain.

[@AllieinSK]

Could this be cut not on the bias as well?

[@PatternStudio101]

Yes! But 2 things! When you stitch the side seams, be careful not to stretch out. Once it's done, hang the skirt a few days before finishing the hem. Let it grow the hem and trim it.

[@madisonspencer9982]

Hello, I’m a beginner at sewing, and I can figure out how to make all my patterns from this. However I’m not sure how to sew it together really. Is there anywhere I can look for instruction on that?

[@PatternStudio101]

I don’t teach sewing on this channel. Sorry 😊

[@Bobozzznana]

Thanks for sharing. It is an understandable tutorial, however, the uneven hemming is not just about how fabric cut in bias. You missed drafting the waistline that why this pattern hem was uneven. I would recommend the beginners start with the basic block skirt pattern first.

[@syamagi9454]

Is there any difference if you cut it in bias or not?

[@PatternStudio101]

The skirt will hang differently. One is more straight, the other is more like flared-like. It's just your preference.

[@Naturspired]

Hi ! I have a follow up to this question. If the skirt is not cut bias should I add additional ease to accommodate the lack of stretch? Thank youuu! 😊

[@VanessaGonzalez-of4qb]

Do I have to cut it in a bias?

[@PatternStudio101]

You don't have to, but you can!

[@VanessaGonzalez-of4qb]

OK thank you very much because I'm going to make it this week 😄

[@hannahamza111]

How much meter need for pleated long skirt

[@PatternStudio101]

Depending on the fabric width. If you can place both front & back in the width, then you need only skirt length. But if they don’t fit, then you need double the amount of skirt length.

[@hannahamza111]

@@PatternStudio101 thanks 😊
