Tutorial: How to sew a pleated skirt - part 1 of 2

[00lynni3mint]

How do you make measurements?

[pai009]

I noticed, that she foregot to mention that if you can it's a good idea to wash the fabric before you cut it. With the blue fabric she used, I don't think you're supposeto wash it. But you could wash the balck. Look at where the price per. yard is to see how to wash it. Sorry if this seems a little rude, I'm just trying to let people know to wash fabric before you work with it. That way, when you do wash it, the sceams don't come appart.

@pai009 No your fine. That is true. Do wash it before sewing. I did but totally forgot to mention it.

Hi SailorFireStar1, I'm a complete beginner at sewing with patterns as well and I was wondering if we could get in touch so I can mooch some advice off of you! You're a bit more ahead of me, and the only thing I have going for me is I know a bit of sewing from when I sewed quilts and free form bags. I would love if you could get back to me. I have plenty of questions! Thanks!

@tess35 What is it that you would like to have help with?

[GagaLuvr15]

Hee hee. My pets often get in the way when I'm cutting the fabric. Also thanks for this. I'm using the same pattern for my Baby Doll cosplay and I was getting a little confused by it.

If you have a Joann's Fabrics near where you live they have an amazing scissors brand called Ginghers they are slightly on the expensive side but well worth the price with how nice of a cut they make
