Thank you so much for this tutorial very helpful, my mother loves skirts with pleats and she always asked me to make for her and I would always refuse, now I am going to surprise her and make her one. Thank you, thank you👏
Just watching this morning and I can't but give you the credit for this well detailed material ma'am . Hence the reason for this comment. Thanks for your selfless effort ma. God bless you
The pencil skirt is a classic and so elegant and flattering, even on larger ladies, if well made and using the right textured and weight etc fabrics and colours. I think a firm woven fabric is best choice eg a linen or by wool be etc, no knits or fine flimsy fabrics. Or patterns and texture eg tartans, tweeds etc. Though if you happen to be very slender, these to will be OK, but not for large ladies, who need a plain, smooth, flat, very firm fabric, ideally with a lining at least half way down to avoid revealing every little body bulge etc. You can make it very feminine eg in a white or pastel shade for social occasions with a fancy patterned etc blouse or other top. Or you could make it as a non nonsense, serious business or professional woman's skirt eg for the office work place. It may be interesting to know that, traditionally, Europeans referred to such a no nonsense type business skirt as a "strong skirt". It certainly does give the impression that a woman in such a knee length "no nonsense" skirt is a strong woman, in charge of things. Such skirts were often favoured by strong career women eg "no nonsense" stern school mistresses. Our high school teachers in the bush wore such skirts. Often made of grey, black, navy or brown flannel or tweed wool fabric or tartans. When they walked in the room, all the kids' shouting and mucking Ng around instantly stopped and kids stood up respectfully, for the teacher's greeting, before waiting for permission from her to be seated, shut up, listen up, because she had important information they needed to pay strict attention to. They never had to raise their voices to some high pitched female shrill. The "strong skirt" and "sensible lace up shoes" and opaque navy or grey or fawn thick stocking that looked "terminally uncool" to us fashion "with it" teenage girls gave them all the authority they needed. One boy dropped a ruler on the floor during a lesson and went to pick it up. " Leave it there and pay attention" the "strong skirted" mistress calmly ordered. "Yes mum, I mean, yes ma'am..." the terrified boy replied. It's just the way such skirts looked when they stood or walked, checking kids' schoolwork etc and how the pleat or split worked so efficiently. Unlike our uniform's pleats that we had to had to have looking neat and clean but which never looked quite right. And then, as we reached senior school, she would call a Senior Girls Assembly and inform us we were now very privileged "professional women" and therefore now also allowed to wear the "strong skirt" because we had proved we had "strong intelligent professional women's intelligence", instead of running wild, fooling around with the boys, getting pregnant at 14, smoking, drinking, doing drugs, "short skirts" etc etc, like the pretty sexy girls did (which we wished we could, but we were all consider to be just "brainy geeks" and so we just had to wear "strong skirts" and "behave like fine professional women". Old junior school pleated Serge tunics were chopped up by mothers and made into such pencil skirts for their "clever girl_ daughters and some even wore these to university, but dressed more "grown up" eg with a plain jumper or coloured blouse, jacket etc. They weren't very trendy and exciting but very practical skirts. I finally got bored with my drab grey one and decided to try and make a more interesting fun skirt, out of a brighter colour for summer. I made it out of white linen because that could be worn with any other colours and go to any event. Since I only owned two skirts and that had to do me, not having rich parents to buy me the latest style clothes, like other girls had in my Arts course, though they soon hot pregnant and dropped out after first year, as most girls did, after snaring some promising young lawyer or doctor. But, I noticed the serious studious ones all wore these plain practical pencil skirts...I got asked on a date by a fashion conscious good looking young student who looked at my skirt and said "Can you wear something less dorky.... You're oK, but those clothes...". "What for? If I'm already OK, like you say..," I challenged him. "Well, it's kinda, like guys like girls to dress pretty, like girls... My friends would laugh at me... Say, why don't we forget the disco dance and go to the library instead?" he suggested, obviously trying to avoid being seen out with a girl wearing dorky "strong skirt" . It suited me just fine because I preferred the library to the bright disco lights, showy people doing all their very extroverted sexy dancing in loud, glittery clothes I couldn't afford and thought looked stupid, anyway....
Thanks for the tutorial,but instead of top steaching can i sew the pleat from inside up to where the opening will start? Looking closely on the skirt there is no stiches on it.
Thank you for this. After stitching the pleat from the waist what will happen to the inside part of that pleat. Are we going to cut the excess part off?
@@MAGVIVICREATIONS ok one more question Are we cutting this front part lining with the same length and weight? or after joining the pleats before cut the cutting the lining for the front?
HELLO my dear, you are wonderful and a very experienced teacher.... thank you very much for this. I do have a question for you though. I will like to have the pleat in the back but only on one side of the skirt, I mean the whole 10 inches pleat on either the left or the right of the back.... and how to add the zipper in the back as well. Hoping you will teach us how to go about it IThank you. I very much appreciate you. God bless.
Please I have a question ma, what's ur take on allocating more figure to the back pattern of a skirt and a lesser figure to the front, for instance if my hip is 40, I saw a pattern that States that because of the bump area at the back,we should give the back 22 and the front 18 inches because of the bombom Pls kindly clarify me on this, Thanks in advance ma

Tape is low
You forget to cut down the front of the waist incase someone forget to do it but good job🎉😊❤
Tnx a lot for this ma'am but what if you want the skirt in A'line form,do u fold in A line before inputting the pleats?
Ok, I understand now, thank you very much ma
This is very elaborate. But is there no need for back dart?
You can add back dart. I was actually concentrating on the front.
Wow thanks so much for this. But what about the excess(pleat) at the top part of the front skirt, won't it be too bulgy?
I mentioned in the video that you will stitch it down.
Thanks boss, but what if d slit part has another fabric
You're welcome. You can cut it out and add the other fabric
Please what if u have a side inverted pleat
Thanks for the tutorial,but instead of top steaching can i sew the pleat from inside up to where the opening will start? Looking closely on the skirt there is no stiches on it.
Yes, you can.
Oh! My God this is lovely Weldon ma.
Please can you do a pleated back vent /slit skirt with a zipper.
Sure, soon.
Thank you ma

first to comment thanks ma
Thank you for this. After stitching the pleat from the waist what will happen to the inside part of that pleat. Are we going to cut the excess part off?
It would lie flat inside, no need to cut it.
@@MAGVIVICREATIONS ok thank you
@@MAGVIVICREATIONS ok one more question
Are we cutting this front part lining with the same length and weight? or after joining the pleats before cut the cutting the lining for the front?

Thank you ,God bless you for me ooo
Thanks so much ma
Helpful, thank you ma, but my question is, to place your width, am I going to add enough width so as to get enough allowance.
Pls ma… did you add lining to it
No I didn't but if you want to add lining, you would sew it separately in side the skirt.
Thanks can I make longer
You're welcome. Yes, you can make it longer.
You are a good teacher. Thank you. Please where do you base
