The other tutorials I came across requires me to lay the whole fabric flat and draw two big circles.. lol.<br /><br />Thank you for posting this! :*Kristalyn Hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09347274155597449433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459041570663295924.post-65959580113526591442009-10-17T19:13:39.997+01:002009-10-17T19:13:39.997+01:00Ha ha.

I meant something like this - kinda ruffles at the bottom of the skirt http://www.angelicpretty.com/shopping/sk/82s-1241/82s-1241.html (not the net part)<BR/><BR/>I guess you would double the length for something liek that. maybe two seperate pieces of fabric. One for the ruffles then attach that to the main skirt would be my guess but I dont really know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459041570663295924.post-48964363320148397882008-10-28T17:31:00.000+00:002008-10-28T17:31:00.000+00:00Thanks!

I'm glad you're finding it useful. <BR/><BR/>Do you mean something like this?<BR/>http://www.marymagdalene.jp/contents/skirt/204/0301/<BR/><BR/>I've not really done a lot of box pleats before; on a rectangular skirt I'd sew the pleats into the waistband so I'd make the top edge longer. Like in this tutorial: http://www.postkaye.com/sckaye/Costume/pleats.html<BR/><BR/>I suppose that could work on a circle skirt too, if you pretened your waist was three times as big when you worked it out.<BR/>It might cause some trouble at the hem though because of the curve?<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your project! Let me know how it turns out.ra_lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06641025177545773913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459041570663295924.post-49289757380563708022008-10-28T15:51:00.000+00:002008-10-28T15:51:00.000+00:00another quick Q - sorry im new at this - If I want...another quick Q - sorry im new at this - If I wanted to add box pleats along the bottom would I have to increase the fabric length?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459041570663295924.post-38958986508372254232008-10-28T15:14:00.000+00:002008-10-28T15:14:00.000+00:00wow, quick reply ^_^ thank you so much.
