The modern take on pleating is what interests me. I have pleaters, and wonder, what should I pleat?

I want quilt patterns! I’ve just begun quilting and want more projects.

I love to gather knitted strips and then embellish with seed and bugle beads – it makes a stunning decoration and looks great on a brooch.

It’ll be fun to make a purse with pleats!

Twist – and shout. Interesting things happen when you twist.

I have done a lot of gathering, but have been wanted to slash some patterns to add extra pleats.

Dec 17, 2012, 04.44 PMby Arellis

Lately I’ve been into interesting pleats on skirts. Some looks detailed, but modern.

Dec 17, 2012, 04.34 PMby Melissa Haren

Definitely pleat, though I am not familiar with creating twists, so I’d love to learn!!!

As i use ribons a lot i tend to add texture with gathers. It can change the character of the ribbon

After seeing Fortuny fabric in Venice, I am a pleat junkie.

I love pleats, because they add texture without adding bulk. I also love all of their cousins and children: tucks, pintucks, box pleats, inverted box pleats… :)
