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 ❤
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.
Wow. You've blown me away with your knowledge and clarity of thought. I just thought I wanted to know about pleating...but I saw your related videos and realized you are a wealth of knowledge!! Subscribed for my own good!
All your videos inspire me! I have spent the morning looking through your "Beginner" playlist and realise how much more I can learn from you. Thank you so very much!
I am a quilter and have many very expensive tools, rulers, scissors etc but this method of making pleats beats them all many thanks. And yes I will tag friends and recommend this video to all who sew and quilt.👍👍👍😊😊😊
This is exactly what I needed! Thank you SO MUCH for this very helpful and clear tutorial! I absolutely love pleated skirts and really wanted to make a couple for myself. Greetings from Argentina!

I'm gonna make a Japanese uniform skirt.. then... This is maybe a good idea!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Thankyou so mucccchhh!! 😆Ps: I'm watching it at 1am.... I'm getting so exciting to buy a cardboard tomorrow morning!!
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)
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 have the perfect project in mind: add length to an asymmetric pencil skirt by adding accordion pleated chiffon or crepe. Going to buy cardboard TOMORROW...its 1:02am so TODAY!
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
OM freaking G! How much patience do you have?!?!? All this work on the cardboard alone takes ages. I am sincerely impressed! How long did it take you to make that tool?
Hello Stonytina Yes it take a little long to make the tool, but after you have it you could use it for many project. 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.. Diane
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!
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
Definitely will be making one! Any tips for pleating chiffon fabric? Also if my skirt has a lining should I pleat it separate? Any advice is appreciated 💜

Thank you so much for your creative ideas
This is amazing, do you know how I could make the pleats stay after washing the piece?
That's exactly what i was wondering
Use synthetic fabrics not the ones made with natural fibers,
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
Thank you for sharing!
So very helpful! It had been on my to do list; purchase a pleat template.
Wow good idea.Thank you very much for sharing.

Really I’m happy I got ideas god bless you mam 👍
OM freaking G!
How much patience do you have?!?!?
All this work on the cardboard alone takes ages. I am sincerely impressed!
How long did it take you to make that tool?
Hello Stonytina
Yes it take a little long to make the tool, but after you have it you could use it for many project.

Diane
Exactly what I was thinking. She is a saint.
Do we need to put a solution so that the pleats will stay even after washing?
Thank you so much for this interesting video...💕
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!
Very smart idea!!
Is it actual cardboard or more like poster board? Will this technique work on thicker fabric as well, like wool or fleece?
Woow that's wonderful I will do it
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?
Me encanto muchísimas gracias por enseñarnos
Thank you very much
Wow! Thank you Diane ♥
This is beautiful and amazing. Thank you so much for sharing. Where can I get your weights.
Thank you ma. I appreciate you.

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