Finally a really clear description of cartridge pleating.

Ops!! I hope you can understand my questions and English writing. Thank you very much 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Totally explained the how of cartridge pleats. Thank you for the explanation and detailed instructions.

This seems so much faster than how I did cartridge pleating. I actually marked mine across most of the length of the skirt at 1” and 1” below that every 1” before using my needle and thread. Maybe I was being a math perfectionist or something. Thank goodness fabric is so forgiving and you don’t need to be super intense about where each stitch lands. Your stitching, while more free form, looks almost exactly the same. Pleats are shallow but I think it matches your era wonderfully. Thank you for the demo.

Thank you so much for the tutorial! I needed this for the neckline of a Italian renaissance Camicia (Chemise).

I've never done cartridge pleating but when I do you bet I'm going to use this very in depth tutorial! And I'm really looking forward to hearing all about your story on the next video.

I absolutely love it! I tried machine gathers on my first skirt and was so unsatisfied. Looking forward to attempt two with this technique

Another perfect tutorial.

Just found you and happy I did as I have never seen a tutorial on cartridge pleats! Thank you. New sub.

Obsessed with 1860s right now and this satisfied that strange addiction! LOL I wish I had enough fabric for that! Might get my priorities in order soon LOL 😋

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I’m thinking of making a skirt like this and was wondering if you have a tutorial for the top as well?

Perfect! Thank you. I love to watch them all.

I love this! Much easier to do than my last go round with Cartridge pleats!

This was SO informative and helpful, thank you!!!

Awesome tutorial. I’m sewing civil war era doll dresses and your channel will certainly be my go-to for instruction. 💕

That was beautifully done.

GORGEOUS DRESS.

Awesome! Thank you!

Thanks for the tutorial!! Love this fabric,,, and the dress! Definitely be sewing me some cartridge pleats now 👍

Thank you for this! This is next on the list of things to do for my 18th century outfit. I’m going to attempt to do this for my outer petticoat...🤞

Thank you so much, that was a wonderful tutorial. I was having trouble understanding how to attach the skirt to the top/waistband. Cant wait to go and make my summer skirt 😍

so in the video you said the difference between cartridge pleats and gathers is that "gathers are done on the machine" and I just want to say... if you've never done hand gathers, you should. they look so much nicer than machine gathers, and i've found that i can do gathers by hand much faster than on the machine. i also don't end up breaking threads when I do gathers by hand. all in all though, this was super informative, thank you.

amazing hand sewing skill, so even

Great detailed description

Thank you! This helped a ton!

Now I know how to do the pleats. Thank you.

Fantastic love the 👗

Hi thank you!! I had to subscribe and I love your hair!!!

I REALLY enjoyed this video, thank you for being very detailed in your explanation. :) new Subbie.

My 16 year old daughter is making a civil war era dress currently and this is helpful to her. Her question is, you don’t hide the skirt underneath the waist band to give it a finished look?

Hey! Does anyone know how to calculate the yardage for a skirt with cartridge pleats?

The tutorial was exactly what I was looking for, thank you. Let me just say - that fabric is so pretty and from what I can see of the bodice your sewing is immaculate. Off to trawl the channel for a hoop skirt tutorial now.

Sweet! What kind of thread are you using?

My heart is telling me to do this but my fingers are telling me not :D Thankyou for the wonderful vid!

This is such a clear demonstration and so helpful. I am using cartidge pleating for a cape made out of velvet, so it looks like because of the thickness of the fabric that I will need to make the length of the pleats about an inch wide. Would I be correct?

How do you estimate how wide to make the skirt measurement? For example, approximately twice as long as you want it to end up after you add the pleats?

How would you do stacked inverted pleats? I’ve seen historical gowns that have 2-3 pleats layered on top of each other converging at the same point and I’m looking for a pattern or tutorial on how to do it. Thanks!

Hi there, just now I saw your channel and I really liked. I was watching this tutorial which came across of what I really want to learn how to do. Because i am not a experienced seamstress i couldn’t understand it well, therefore I have questions. As far as I understood you divided the skirt in four sessions. First question: did you treated the needle for all the sessions at once or one by one; on the video looks like you stitched two at parts at the same time🤔indent think so but I am not sure☹️sorryyyyyyy! Can you help me with my doubts😊👍🏽🌼♥️

Thank you! Did you fold over (double fold) the skirt from the waist?

Excellent tutorial! I'm in the middle of an 1830s project and was completely lost. Do you hem the skirt before or after sewing it onto the bodice?

I missed how much fabric is needed for the skirt. And what if I want just a skirt?. How do I attach a band ?. Thanks

Is there a formula for how many inches of fabric = x in. fabric after doing cart. pleats?

I was wondering. If you have no pattern, how do I know how much fabric to use for the shirt

Mam Yuva cutting super thank you thank you thank you

I was wondering if I could make this skirt without the bodice and just make a waistband to stich the pleats into. Also, could this work without a hoop skirt if I measure everything without it?

Is there a pattern for the bodice? And I see the skirt is just a rectangle that is pleated to fit. Correct? How do I decide on amount of fabric for skirt? thanks !!!

These instructions are very clear and helpful but the background music adds nothing and is too loud and distracting.

How do I calculate the width of the skirt(accounting for the pleats)after I have my waist measurement?

Is this a lawn or flat printed cotton?

Mt?

Great video but the music is distracting.

the background music is obnoxious. the sewing is lovely!

change the music to softer music, please!

Looks like a masterpiece of hand stitching! But, video quality very poor.

I tried to do this video but the music was so loud and annoying I could not hear your voice. Too bad because...

You need a smocking machine to do your cartridge pleats.

REALLY irritating music. none would be better. great instructions!
