I never comment on vids but this vid is absolutely what I need. No need to search further. Thank you so much for the very informative video.

Damn, I saw this technique on a workshop tour at Dior but never thought you could recreate something like this at home. This is giving me IDEAS! You are amazing and I hope people tell you often enough because you deserve it ❤

Amazing!!! One of the best tutorials I've watched! With gratitude!

You have got to be one of the most knowledgeable teachers on you tube. Well done and Thankyou!

I was searching for this pleat skirts for so long . thank you for showing the technique .. it was super easy

The tool could be done for the pleat size that you want, my 1cm pleat is just an exemple. For the size of the cardboard you should start with, you calculate 3 time the depth of the pleat X the amount of pleat you want + of course an extra 3cm at the beginning & at the end. The tool doesn't have to be that big because you could always pleat part of your fabric wait until it's cold than move it to do some more.

Hi Diane, When measuring the card to use for a 1cm pleat board, is it the exact length and width of the garment that it is to be used for x 3? For example I want to make a pleated skirt, will it be a the total length and width of the shirt x 3? Or do I base it on a half pattern since I cannot cut the pleat on fold on fabric or can I? I don't know if my question makes sense.

Diane Deziel Is the medium used cardstock or cardboard??? Would a regular thin poster board suffice???

Use synthetic fabrics not the ones made with natural fibers,

@shadowjewel

I'm planning to work with natural fibres and the only way I can think to make them stay after washing is, after ironing the pleat in, is to sew right along the very very edge of every fold to lock them in place permanently. It's obviously a lot of work but well that can't be avoided with certain looks like this if you want it in natural fibres.

I saw on another video that the best fabric is polyester, natural fabrics won't hold unless we use starch, I'm not a starch fan

Great teaching, thanks a lot and God bless

This is one of those situations when a T-square is pretty much mandatory. The cm measuring can so easily go wrong! (I guess wonky pleats aren't the end of the world...but still! :o)

Thank you so much for your creative ideas

This amazing video tips Thank you mom

Is it actual cardboard or more like poster board? Will this technique work on thicker fabric as well, like wool or fleece?

Wow! Thank you so much for sharing this technique!

Wow good idea.Thank you very much for sharing.

What if you're trying to pleat silk fabric and the pleats come out? What is a stitching method that you can use to make sure they stay down?

Wow it's amazing and very much result oriented

This is a very helpful video. Thank you very much for posting!

Amazing tutorial. Thank you very much.

So very helpful! It had been on my to do list; purchase a pleat template.

Woow that's wonderful I will do it

Thank you for sharing!

Do we need to put a solution so that the pleats will stay even after washing?

This is absolutely fabulous thanks so much 🥳

Wonderful video and very helpful madam ...i had a ready made pleated skirt that has already crumbled in my bag ....ho w can i fix it plzzzzz the pleats are there but in between lots of fabric crumbles still present after watching

Hello Manar, I dont think it's necessary to make the tool to fix your skirt, I would just spray a little water and place the pleat on the pressing board following what is left from the original pressing, and pulling both end, stabilize with pin. Than press "cook" using a wet pressing cloth over. Remember to wait until it's cold before moving and do the following section. Diane

So wonderful I love it thank you so much I will work on it

so interesting ! thank you :)

yay!!! thank you so much for this video 😄 !!! I was looking for a tutorial about pleating and you did it!!!😘

Thank you so much for this interesting video...💕

Thank you!! So talented, and knowledgeable!

Cardboard or cardstock? Cardboard makes me think of moving boxes...would this be more like using a posterboard paper from a craft store as far as the weight of the paper?

Beautiful as always....God bless you.💋👌👍😘💕❤

Thank you so so much madam! I had one question... Will the pleating stay intact after washing. Too?

@DianeDezieltoolfully

Hello Manisha, On synthetic fabric, It stay like the permanent pleat you see on garment in the market. But I always suggest you test before doing the real project. and remember to press for long time with a pressing cloth to protect your fabric, wait until it cool down, move the fabric and continue. Diane

Really helpful video thanku

This video tutorial is absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much!

This is so helpful. Thank you so much

Thank you so much, this is very valuable information. I was wondering how to do this.

What about washing or dry cleaning the fabric after use? Doesn't the pleats go away??? Any chemicals that could be applied to keep the shape permanently???

Me encanto muchísimas gracias por enseñarnos

Hi Diane, I have a pleated skirt that lost some of the pleats. It is synthetic material - polyester. How do I restore the pleats? They are small pleats

@DianeDezieltoolfully

5 жыл бұрын

Hello Sandi, A tool like this could help you restore your pleats, but 1st you must make the tool with the same pleat size, looking at the pleat close to the seam. Diane

This is so good! Thank you so much ma'am.

Thank you for this wonderful video on pleating. I have some questions: what is the best fabric on which to pleat and are the -pleats permanent, example: what happens to the pleats after a full day of sitting on it or washing??? your response would very much appreciated. Thank you

@DianeDezieltoolfully

Hi Indrani, It's working with light weight fabric to medium, the easiest are plain cotton, like shirt cotton, the more you cook the pleats the more they stay, that's why using the protection cloth over, allow you to keep your iron longer. All the one I did, stay even after wash. Think about when you do a bad pleat, when pressing, how hard it is to get rid of it. So the best thing to do, is a little practice, that you wash. Diane

When I discover the technic I found a conpagny that sell them already made, "Perfect pleater" but I want it right away so, I start with a little one, I try it and it was so fun to use, that I didn't mind the time needed for the big one about 45 min..

I had a beautiful pleated skirt once, but I washed it, and the pleats were removed. If only I had known this technique, I probably could have put them back!
