Pintucks in corduroy?
This skirt was waaay too big, and dull. You can see where I had put a box pleat in the front but I didn’t like it very much so I unpicked it and started again.
I saw this idea in Sew Subversive and thought it might work even though the cord is very bulky.
I kinda like it. I sewed the pintucks down with contrast stitching so they face the middle and yeah, it is a little bulky but I much prefer it to how it was before.

Bold but it works. The pin tucks are kind of lighthearted, where I agree that a box pleat would drag it down. PS, I enjoy your blog.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great idea! Gives it a vintage style. Love it!
