Recently I have been making a lot, a lot, of skirts. I never used to wear skirts, only dresses but recently I'm really into them. they need less fabric and are quicker and easier to make, I can whip one up in a couple of hours and be wearing it later in the day, that's my kind of sewing!
I have to admit that 90% of my skirts are made in exactly the same style, high waisted with a wide waist band and gathered skirt, which is great but I wanted to try something a little different this time. Which lead me to the pleats in this skirt, I'm not exactly sure what kind of pleats these are classed as but they were incredibly easy to make and give the skirt a completely different look.
I'm now a little obsessed, pleating has a endless variety and I'm really excited to try some different ways with pleats on my next skirt making episodes! The bow was an idea I saw somewhere on Pinterest (of course!) and I love it, this is just a really sweet skirt that will be perfect for spring! :)
