Pleating Boards Made Easy - How to make them, How to use them!

Pleats are an essential part of Victorian, Edwardian, Vintage and Modern clothes and costumes, however they can be seen as complicated and intimidating. In this video I show you how to make an easy and cheap DIY pleating board from materials you probably have around your home. I will also show you how to use your new pleating board to make crisp even pleats as long and as wide as you need.

A cheap and efficient way of creating all the pleats you could ever want for all of your dressmaking and sewing, both historical and modern.

I also have another video showing how to make 4 different kinds of pleats:    • Making Pleats - Pleats 4 ways.
