Friends, it is hardly a secret that I love Pinterest with a fiery passion. For this challenge, I selected a pin in my Sewing Inspiration board: See Kate Sew's tutorial on using horizontal pleats to spice up a skirt.
This purple polka dot skirt was sitting in my refashion pile without any love, so I decided to conduct my experiment on it...
Close up of the horizontal pleat. I love the little decorative touch it adds to the skirt - I may even add another before I wear it again this summer! I'll have to remember this before I hem another skirt - this was definitely easier :)
Friends, have you ever used horizontal pleats on a skirt or shirt? Do you think you'll add this touch to any pieces in your wardrobe? Let me know - I'd love to know what you're brainstorming!
PS If you haven't seen Becky's post from today, she made a really fabulous sculpture!
