LIVE Sewalong: No-Pattern Pleated Skirt pt 1

WHEN WATCHING: this sewalong unexpectedly crashed. When it ends, continue watching here: https://youtu.be/aZlL5DG1jiM In this sewalong we’ll be making simple no-pattern skirts from pre-pleated fabric. Choose from an elasticated waist, or one with a fixed waistband and zip. If you’d like to join in, we recommend using Ciment Pleating to have your fabric pleated. There is a video on our IGTV if you'd like to see the process. You’ll need to hem the fabric first before sending it in, and for the accordion pleat Lisa used, you’ll need to send them three times the width of your hip measurement. For a skirt that is approx 1m long, and for a hip measurement of 100cm, it means you’d need to send 2m of 150cm wide fabric. (This is because three times 100 is 300. If your fabric is 150cm wide, you’ll need two “drops” of 1m to achieve a width of 300cm.) It doesn’t need to be too exact (for instance we haven’t taken into account seam allowance), especially for the version with the elasticated waist.
