FORMING KNIFE PLEATS... RESPECTED MADAM INSTRUCTOR, JUST NOW I WATCHED YR ABOVE VIDEO AND MANY OTHERS ON THE SAME SUBJECT EARLIER. IN COMPARISON, I JUDGED YRS IS THE BEST BECAUSE U LEFT NOTHING FOR DOUBTS OR CONFUSION. WELL FOCUSSED VIDEO, CLEAR EXPLANATION TO THE POINT COVERING ALL DETAILS AND EXCELLENT DEMONSTRATION MADE THIS VIDEO A TOTAL SUCCESS. YOU PROVED YR METTLE AS AN INSTRUCTOR WORTHY OF FOLLOWING. THANKS Vatsa, INDIA
Thank you, very good demo. I will use this to create the sleeve that resemble the sleeve on the Snow White wedding dress costume from the movie Mirror Mirror. It will be a 2 layers
The length will be determined by your sewing project. The width comes down to personal choice, but I'd say the fabric measurement should be around double the original.
what would you recommend as a good follow up to apply knife pleats? Skirts, which side is up and which is down! what styles would you recommend in applying these? beautiful explanation, simple, informative and gorgeous execution. thanks for sharing!
hi colleen i love your tutorials...very easy and explained well, thanks.. the knife pleats? is this also the way to sew curtains?? can you do a tutorial about that.. thanks a lot
The skirt can be done either way. If your having many pleats, form them first and then cut out your pattern. If you're only having three or four, cut the pattern out first which will include the pleat measurements. Professionally set means they are creased permanently by a company and will remain aligned.
Thanks Coleen, could you tell me how this will be attached or made into a skirt, do you put your pattern over the formed pleats and cut or do you just attach this to the bodice? I also what do you ean by being professionally set
How would you create horizontal pleats at the bottom of a skirt/dress , i.e pleats would go from left to right rather than from the top of a waistline down? By the way your videos are amazing, I am a novice in all this and find them very easy to follow and then replicate on my own. Thank you
Hi okie so if u are doing 1inch pleats u times your waist measurement by 3 that's how much fabric u will need but also rmr to add a 2ich for seam and hem allowance
The most helpful video I’ve found and it’s from nearly a decade ago 😂

Thank you.
You are welcome!
The length will be determined by your sewing project. The width comes down to personal choice, but I'd say the fabric measurement should be around double the original.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the tutorial. Could you please do a video on how to add lining to a maxi skirt?
Oh my goodness - I've been trying to press the pleats as I form them (which seems impossible). This is SO MUCH EASIER!!!
Yes I would have to agree.
Brilliant thanks a million from my wife.
Happy to help Gurinder, thank you for taking the time to comment.
what would you recommend as a good follow up to apply knife pleats? Skirts, which side is up and which is down! what styles would you recommend in applying these?

thankyou!
You're welcome!
hi colleen i love your tutorials...very easy and explained well,
thanks..
the knife pleats? is this also the way to sew curtains??
can you do a tutorial about that..
thanks a lot
Gracias amiga! Yeah that's what I asked! :)
Yes it is possible to create a pleated ruffle. Just pleat your fabric first and then cut out the shape.
God bless you
kadri sawsen Thank you.
This way makes a lot more sense to me :)
Alex Hill Thanks
FashionSewingBlogTV It turned out awesome btw! Thank you

Thank you for commenting Neethu Johnson.
No problem at all.
I will try
Just take your time Pinky Saini Thank you for commenting.
this is a great technique..but how to take a measurement for fabric length to make knife pleat on skirt?
I am trying to create my own patterns...have any advice about the tools to use and where to get them?
Always try to calculate the type of pleats you're going to use and how much extra fabric they use before purchasing fabric.
Thanks Coleen, could you tell me how this will be attached or made into a skirt, do you put your pattern over the formed pleats and cut or do you just attach this to the bodice? I also what do you ean by being professionally set
They are just a variety of fabric weight that can be purchased over the internet of at good sewing stockists.
How would you create horizontal pleats at the bottom of a skirt/dress , i.e pleats would go from left to right rather than from the top of a waistline down?
By the way your videos are amazing, I am a novice in all this and find them very easy to follow and then replicate on my own. Thank you
when you do it, it looks easy enough for me to do
Haha, thank you.
lovely...... how do you measure the material according to your waist when making pleats
32steppin yes would love to know
Hi okie so if u are doing 1inch pleats u times your waist measurement by 3 that's how much fabric u will need but also rmr to add a 2ich for seam and hem allowance
Hello amiga! Making Pleated skirt, a few inches from me I should start making plissee, ie the ward I seam to the zipper?
