Pleat Lesson

This was the first pleat lesson we had. When i got told we were doing pleats i paniked and thought i couldnt do it and that it would be too hard.
When we started making the patterns i got to grasp quickly with it and found the patterns suprisingly easy, i was going at my own pace and kept referring to the example patterns we had. This made it easier for me to complete it.
After doing the knife pleat, box pleat, inverted pleat and the godet pattern pieces it was time to make the actual pleats. I wanted to make sure the pleats were spot on as i really wanted to do well in this.
We started to make the knife pleat, and the box pleat. Unfortunately that is the only ones i could do in the lesson so i came in on the following tuesday night to complete the inverted pleat and the godet.
The godet was something i struggled on, especially when 'easing' the circle onto the pattern pieces. This was the most difficult thing.
I was pleased with my pleats and my research and i really enjoyed making these and i definately felt confident with these which was suprising.
