Hey DIY Fam, in this video I show how to sew a pleated skirt without patterns. The skirt design was inspired by the dress I made for Rebecca in the Syle-Off challenge video, watch it here • DIY £30 FESTIVE HOLIDA...

I'm currently working on a different pleated skirt, but this is my next project! One thing I found while working on my current project - it's easier to pin everything together if you baste the pleats in place before attempting to attach a waistband or lining.

Good day Priscilla. I am glad I found YOUR channel. I HAVE been seeking other black women who sew. I HAVE watched at least 6 videos. I like this tutorial. Keep making THESE vidoes PLEASE!!! ✂️✂️😁

I like the way you made this skirt. Had problem with another box pleated pattern, haven't sewed anything since high school. Waiting for the fall season to start,. The color of my material will be great cause of you. Thank my lady and keep up the good work,

I'm so in love! I just finished my skirt. My very first garment. I'm a quilter so this was so fun and satisfaction was way faster than sewing a quilt. I made it gray with Oakland Raider print inside the pleats. I wish I could upload a picture. Thank you soooooooooo much!

Really cool thanks for sharing. I have some super cute fabric but not enough to do anything with so adding the second fabric is perfect. Tysm for sharing!

Inspired by your vlogs! I’m just starting out and looking for items to make. Will definitely try making this. Love it. Also have to add that my passion for buying fabrics is overwhelming, but love it - it’s like buying art (that might sound weird!) Getting tips on shopping for fabrics has been very useful. Thx

Hi, thanks for this tutorial. If I understood properly the width of both the yellow fabric and the black and white one is the size of your waist, which makes it twice the measurement of your waist in total, am I right or do we need twice the measurement of your waist for each fabric?

Hi Kim, great video, thanks so much. One question. What happens with the hip? Does it fit all though you don´t have this measurement?

@KimDave 5 жыл бұрын

The only fitted part of this skirt is the waistline. The body of the skirt is much bigger than the hipline so there’s no need to worry

You can use either white of black, both will work well. I use ankara fabric (the black & white print) and faux leather (the yellow fabric)

I still don’t know how you put the zipper on there. Help!!!! I can’t finish my skirt UPDATE!!! I made the skirt and I followed the steps, but the skirt didn’t fit!!!! I’m not sure if I missed it, but there is no mention of hip measurements, it fit around my waist, but not on my booty, it looks horrible, it would fit perfectly if I had no ass or hips.
