I hope you aren’t sick of seeing how you can make pleats in your doll clothes, or other projects, because I have a few more to show you…
Dorothy reminded me September is National Sewing Month… just trying to do my part to keep the sewing community informed about things like using forks for pleating! :o)
Did the title catch your attention? It was meant to! Here is a short video showing you how it works…
I tried it and it really works…
I pleated this black and white fabric in less than 2 minutes… it could get addicting…The trick is to line up your second pleat with the edge of the pleat before it.. you can feel a ridge or even see the pleat edge if your fabric is thinner.
I’ve seen videos rolling the fork toward you and others rolling it away from you…
I think the pleats came out remarkably even…
Here is another video of the fork pleating…an ad will pop up before it starts but you can hit the skip ads when it pops up… down on the right hand side.
I might have to make a few more samples to show you. I tried to take some pictures as I was doing it, but finally just decided to use the videos..
I decided to use my 2 tined fork for meat and see if it would work… (thinking outside the box, you know…) and look how great it worked…
I didn’t notice until I was pressing it, but LOOK… my flower print “almost” matches up…
Look how evenly spaced the pleats are! I’m SOLD on making pleats this way… :o)
Also, I wanted to add this picture in here because it goes PERFECTLY with the subject we’re talking about… PLEATS. Susette sent Rebecca and I some face masks… I was waiting to show them with something and thought this was truly the perfect thing…Aren’t they pretty? Rebecca grabbed the black one with the birds for herself… thank you Susette!! :o)
I wondered if there were any videos of people making face masks with forks…and YES, Yes, there were… there you go Susette!!! Just for you! :o) There is an ad from Michaels before this video too… you can again hit the skip ads when it pops up in the bottom right side.
Face mask pleating with a fork
Well, that does it for today’s lesson on pleats… Tomorrow will be another way that keeps you from having to make those little slits at the top and bottom of your pieces…and matching them up… curious? come back and see…
Blessings, Jeanne
