    The Jeans waistband I use as the skirt waistband.

    If you use pj pants that have pockets, you can cut the under pleats that go in the sides from the sides of the pj pants and take the already created pockets with the under pleat pieces for a skirt with pockets.
    For stability, you’ll want to sew the pockets permanently facing forward like in jeans. Hold them in this placement, and add extra stability to reduce sagging when your pockets have stuff in them by attaching a ribbon to take the weight of the pocket, between the pocket bag and up into the waistband.

    Why is the skirt part a different size from the pleat? Does it give it a more flare look?
    Just curious as most tutorials I've been looking at they are all cut the same size rectangle.

    • @KatsSewingAdventures
      @KatsSewingAdventures  3 роки тому +3

      Yes, the panels for the skirt are a bit different from the panels for the pleats because I wanted a more flared skirt. The bottom part is slightly wider than the top, not much, but enough to achieve this flared look.

  • @zakiyahlyons715
    @zakiyahlyons715 2 роки тому

    Hello wonderful tutorial, however I was wondering what the seam allowance was and if all sides included the top and bottom. So I guess my question is what is the seam allowance on this and is it added to all 4 sides of both panels..?

    • @KatsSewingAdventures
      @KatsSewingAdventures  2 роки тому +1

      Thank you 🙂. How to draw each pattern part I describe without seam allowances, so it's easier to understand how to draw. In the end of each pattern part I remind that you should not forget to add seam allowances to all 4 sides of all 3 pattern parts after you have drawn the parts (before cutting). How wide you make the seam allowance is up to you. I prefer 1cm (⅜").

    hello thank you very much for your reply, but you still need the domestic home sewing machine to do some things that you can't do with the juki industrial sewing machine yes is that correct,?

    • @KatsSewingAdventures
      @KatsSewingAdventures  2 роки тому

      If you want to use zigzag stitch or make button holes than you need an additional machine. A standard domestic sewing machine can do such things without any problems.

    how did you close that upper 4cm of each pleat? just sew in a ߎ shape?

    • @KatsSewingAdventures
      @KatsSewingAdventures  Рік тому

      Yes, I stitched the upper 4cm in U shape. In this video I show at time stamp 8:15 only the sewing path with my finger. But on my other channel, where I put the video instructions for my patterns that can be bought on Etsy, I show exactly how to close the pleats at the top at time stamp 4:49 in the video ua-cam.com/video/DSfxowLCICg/v-deo.html.

    BEWARE. This tutorial is for the fabric combination mentioned. DON'T USE THIS for difficult layered drapey fabrics or interlining or elastic or ANYTHING of that sort.

    • @KatsSewingAdventures
      @KatsSewingAdventures  Рік тому +2

      That's right 🙂. The best fabrics for this skirt are cottons, denims, corduroys, velvets, wools and similar fabrics.

    How did you close the pleads afterwards at the top part

    • @KatsSewingAdventures
      @KatsSewingAdventures  2 роки тому

      After pinning the pleats in place, I baste them inside the seam allowance (6:30). By attaching the waistband (8:52) the pleats are fixed additionally.

    • @KatsSewingAdventures
      @KatsSewingAdventures  3 роки тому

      Sorry for the late replay. I used the fusible interfacing Vilene G700. But you can use any interfacing which is not too light or too heavy.

    I love box pleated skirts for how full they can be. The short length but not too short with knee socks as you have it are perfect. It makes me feel frivolous and perhaps a bit vulnerable in a good feminine way as im open below
    The best part is how chivalrous men get. Ladies first. 😉
