This video will introduce students
This video will introduce students to inverted box pleats using two fabrics. Inverted box pleats or box pleats are synonymous as they are one in the same. Box pleats are pleats or the box on the face side while inverted box pleats are where the pleats that are hidden inside the face fabric.
Inverted box pleats are commonly used because they are more flattering to the body while box pleats add volume to a garment.
They are commonly seen on cheerleading skirts as well as shirts and dresses.
See if you can spot any in your wardrobe!
NOTE:
Inverted box pleats can be any size. You can use any fabric. You're the designer; be creative and have fun with it.
You will have 5 lines on your fabric -- 2 guide lines on the left, a center line, 2 guide lines on the right. They must be symmetrical. The outer most guide lines will be the seam line and fold to the center line creating the pleat.
When sewing your two fabrics together be certain to have right side to right side together as you do not want to sew it incorrectly. Also, use an invisible marker, tailor's chalk, or pencil when marking your fabrics as wax as it doesn't come off. It ruins your fabric.
