I went through this pleats-learning phase like a year ago! Here are my notes: thick fabric needs less pleats, wider pleats, or none at all - bc they look bulky. Nice thin fabric can take a lot of pleats and smaller ones too. You can definitely pleat circle skirts!! and it's more flattering imo. Just triple the circumference... I mostly cut however much fabric I have, and decide on the pleats design when I get to that part in the sewing. I use Mariah Pattie's method of pinning the middle, quarters, eighths, etc. And then manipulate the remaining fabric for the pleats that I want.

This is very helpful - when you have fabric with a straight line print, circle skirts can look weird, so this is a great way to get the swish without making the pattern go sideways somewhere

Have you considered sewing the best of both worlds but putting pleats ( instead of gathers) in a circle skirt? If you sew the pleats shut there is no bulk / bell shape near the waist, and the extra width makses them such a joy to twirl.

It looks like if you wore a fluffy petticoat under the lacy and military pleat skirts you'd get more of the silhouette that a circle skirt gives you. I'm not sure it would work with the other ones, but it might be worth a try.

My favorite for box pleats is a giant double inverted box pleat at the center front. I make it as wide as where I would add side front seams. It adds a lot of volume, with a little effort, and it’s very flattering (when using a medium weight wool). You can do fork pleating to make knife pleats without measuring or pinning.

It's inspiring to me because I love sewing but patterns are too fussy for my brain and I always end up discouraged before I even start because I can't figure out how to make something fit me. But skirts seems like a really great place to experiment with stuff. I really want to actually get into sewing clothing.

Thanks for this video. Hope you are settling in your new house soon. I’m currently sewing a coral reef border print into a pleated split skirt to take on a Transpacific cruise I’m going on next year. I was going to make a full length gown with the fabric, but after watching your Grammy video, I decided to use your idea and make a skirt with several tops. This video was SO helpful with sewing math. My challenge with this project was that I wanted to make my pleat 4X my fabric. Ended up going with the military rolled pleat, but left 3/8” between the pleats. This gave me the 4X fabric and with the spacing, it made the pleat look a bit like a box pleat. I’ve got 1/2 the skirt pleated. it’s looking great! Hopefully will finish it in a couple of weeks. (I have to finish a petticoat that I’m making to go under it before I can be sure about the length.). One notion that is helping me with this project is a spool of water soluble thread. I’ve used it to baste the pleats down before finishing the waistband. It’s working great! Bought it on eBay for $4. (Shipped from China- so you don’t want to be in a hurry.)

Even though you can't be bothered with skirt length, some of your readers might, so I'll share for their benefit. If your skirt/dress hemline falls at your skinniest point of your calf or thigh, that gives you the thinnest look to your legs. So that can either work in your favor or not depending on whether you have thick legs or skinny legs. Plan your hem length according to whether you want your legs to look thinner or thicker. :) If you care about that kind of thing that is. :)

The amount of times I’ve gone nah it probably doesn’t need interfacing in the waist band is too damn many times. I always regret it and now unless it is a fully elasticised waistband I will interface. My favourite waistbands on gathered skirts are the half elasticised ones as there’s less gathering and I don’t have to put in a zipper. I just hate doing zippers. I have so many vintage good zippers that I inherited from both my grandmothers but they are just sitting in a biscuit tin. I just do lapped zippers when I do have to use them

I don't like to measure my pleats. I just pin the waistband to the skirt at the two ends and the center and then make my pleats fit. I am more concerned about making them symmetrical (left matching the right) than even across the top. This allows me to play with the size of the pleats and use whatever yardage I have. It also allows me to accommodate the side seams into the "pleat pattern" better. I love the pleated waistband on the last skirt. The lacy material was gorgeous.

Can you not pleat a circular skirt? I thought u could just pleat anything down to the right size.... like.. make your waist measurement 5 times it's actual size.. do your maths to cut the desired length and what nots... and pleat away. The reason the skirts you made are bell shapped is because of having less fabric at the hem. A pleated circle cut skirt would have the same hem to waist Difference.. just way more fabric used
