Hello Everyone! Please forgive my first video production! Being the seamstress and cameraman can be a little tricky, and I was new to this when I made this video! I did remake this video for you with a better view, and I think you will be able to see much better now! Here you go! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eNFpZb1z2ZvLgY0.html

I’m new to sewing, in fact I’ve never made anything except an ugly pillow that I keep hidden, until the mask. I’ve been pretty successful so far thanks to KZfaq but the pleats took so much time, I was over it. Now I’m sitting here mind blown!!! This is so simple, thank you for sharing!!!!

This has been the most best video on pleading icing a lot of people are complaining in the section for comments about it being off camera if you have a general idea on how to do pleats the main thing that you need to worry about is the actual hack the ironing and then the folding you don't need to see the whole video she's literally giving you a word by word descriptions on how to fold it you take the pleat and folded halfway before the next pleat simple

I've made over 100+ masks with the first 50 or so being pleated; then I found a fitted mask pattern that became my go-to for ease of making and fit. Still, I've had friends & relatives request the pleated ones and I'd been postponing because I dreaded making pleats. Thanks to you, I'll get them done right away!
