because we're folding it! I could probably explain better with a diagram, but basically each box pleat covers the distance of one segment of fabric using thrice the amount. the reason it's not twice the amount is that there's not only the top and the bottom sections of the pleat, there's also the bit in-between the pleats. two of these are needed for each pleat (and two of them are equivalent to one pleat width), so therefore you need three times the amount of fabric to reach the same distance. sorry if this doesn't make much sense!
Box pleats are 2 pleats facing each other. Each pleat is made up of 3 layers. For ex., if you take 6 cms fabric and fold it at 2 cms in one direction and again at the 4th cm in the other direction, you get one pleat of 2 cm. Now if you do the same with 6 more cms but now in the opposite direction but facing the previous pleat made, then you get a box pleats which is 4 cms wide(2+2). To make this one box pleats, 6+⁶ cms were used which is 3 times the width of the box pleats. That's just not sewing but also Maths :-))

Love it. I can see how making the waist band a little larger than my waist will let it fit me if my waist fluctuates (it can ride higher or lower).

Hi cc, how to make a Patten's
For this skirt?
Sihle cc ngiyasithanda, how many meters of fabric did you buy for it?
Enkosi, I think I bought 2 meters (2×150) and then with the leftover I made an A-line skirt.
Thanks
Why is it waist times by 3? Like why 3? Just curious and im new
To get the amount of fabric needed to make a full pleated skirt.
