Hi Nehzat,

 

In the skirt drafting video, what would I do in the drafting to change the slit from the abutted slit to an overlap slit?   Maybe it is called a kick pleat, but it overlaps.  I would really appreciate knowing how to draft this kind of slit. 

 

Thank you,

Carol

Kick pleat video

 Have you created a video on designing a kick pleat?
This pleat is shown on block pattern that starts the orange skirt drafting video but I can not find the detail on the block pattern design video.

Re: Abutted Slit on the Back of the Skirt Block Pattern

Dear jleuterman,

In the skirt sewing video lesson what I show is an abutted slit on the back. To see how to add the abutted slit to your skirt block pattern you can watch chapter 14 from the Skirt Block Pattern Making or chapter 15 from the full figure skirt block pattern making.

In the future I will show how to do a kick pleat.

Happy sewing,

Nehzat

Re: How to sew an overlap slit

 Hi Carol,

We will add your topic to our list and will be making a video lesson to show how to sew an overlap slit using the same skirt block pattern.

Thanks for the suggestion. Happy sewing.
