ReDpants Designs

Forget about FLEET WEEK…this week is officially PLEAT WEEK!

For those of you that do not sew…I have selected some pieces that pull together a similar look (see below)…

I have been sewing for about 15 years and I have a LOT of things that are in my archives that I pull out from time to time.   I have had this skirt for over a decade and it has proven itself timeless.

I styled my pink DIY skirt, this round, with little embellishment and all black touches.

 The skirt was self-drafted.  I would recommend McCalls pattern M6706 for making a similar skirt.  The same look can be achieved by cutting the center and applying a zipper.  Attach a tab front waistband and side seam pockets.  The skirt requires about 2 -3 yards (depending the length and fullness of the pleats).

The fabric is a medium weight, slightly stiff synthetic blend.
