The Inverted Pleat Tutorial

Wednesday, February 22, 2012
Here's a quick & easy way to create some movement & character in a garment: the inverted pleat. 




Measure & mark evenly on your fabric.  Make note of the fabric pen...I will plug it later.  I LOVE THIS PEN! :)



Mark how far you want to stitch.




Don't forget to backstitch.



Four pleats complete!


Ok, the pen plug:




Iron...




Gone!!  I find it so amazing!  When the clerk at the local quilt shop demonstrated this, I couldn't believe it.  Remember those fabric pencils with the brushes on the end (are those still around?!)?  We've come a long way!




Alright, back to the pleats.  Iron and you're done.

  2. Just careful with that pen, don't do this on color fabric, it takes the color out... or maybe it's a great way to decorate :))))
