Because I have a pretty short attention span, I tend to choose sewing projects that don’t require a ton of time. I don’t mind working on something for a week (only working an hour or two a day), but that’s usually the longest I can go. After that I get bored, and the project goes unfinished.
I should have known that a pleated skirt would be a big project, but I saw them popping up everywhere and figured it would be a fun one to tackle. Wrong.
I planned to do a tutorial for this one, but trust me when I say it’s not worth the hassle. Just go buy one. Plus, the entire tutorial would pretty much be “iron four thousand pleats.”
What a sweet skirt!
Ha, that last bit about ironing 4000 pleats makes me laugh. Can you buy pre-pleated fabric?
Such a pretty skirt! That's so cool that you made it yourself, especially since it had so many pleats!

Because I am a fashion lover, I am very fond of this Brown Gap Hoodie dress and the dress you have shared is also appreciated because its design is something different.
