PLEATING

Here is an image of my planning. You can see I have started gathering all kinds of threads and embellishments. I love this part. It is so fun to pick all the 'extras'. I have been practicing pleating and tucking with several different fabrics to find out which may look the best on the final piece. I have to have something that is firm and will work well with canvas but yet I want it to have a softness to it as hypothetically, it is the fabric of a 'girls' dress.
