lots of pleats


If you are ever wondering randomly about making pleats, the nice ladies at Sew Mama Sew asked us to write a little tutorial for their Women's Sewing Month theme. You can read it here. I haven't been so intimidated to write something since my freshman year of college!

Man, Melissa, I really want to tear the yucky carpet off our stairs try your project... It is unbelievably gorgeous and creative and warm.

I will need to read that because pleats make me unbelievably nervous!!!

And yes... I love those stairs... and all the hidden moments!

I loved the tutorial Lynne. You are such a brilliant writer. You make something that could be fatiguing to read, a pleasure. And I love your little samples too. The one with the contrasting fabric in the pleat has totally inspired me...

Lynne: I'm going to venture to make myself a skirt. Do you think inverted pleats are slenderizing? Which pleats would be the best? My husband is all about the fitted clothes!

Lynne,
Your tutorial was great. Very easy to understand and demystified the pleating process. Thanks!
