How to Sew a Long Pleated Skirt With NO Pattern | Beginner Historical Sewing

In this video, I will be showing how to sew a long pleated skirt! This is a very beginner friendly project, in no small part due to the adjustable design of this skirt. This long skirt is made in the style of an 18th century "petticoat", and is essentially two rectangles of pleated fabric sewn together with ties on the front and back panels for a very adjustable design!

Historical people were pros when it came to creating elegant, woven fabric clothing with adjustable features to allow for stages of life like pregnancy. This is the perfect maternity skirt for me at the moment!

Keep on watching for a detailed step-by-step on how YOU can make one of these skirts for yourself, in a small amount of time!
