High Waisted Pleated Jumper Dress

Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Clothing

For: Women

Style: Retro / Vintage, Outdoorsy, Whimsical, Mod, Geeky, Cute, Traditional, Casual, Classic


Materials

Vintage fabric, buttons, and a lot of time with my iron.

What was your inspiration?

At the beginning of Kids in the Hall there is a little boy wearing jumper pants, I saw this and thought I need those, but before those came this came. I wanted to create something different and fun and I really admire High Waisted clothing, and Pleats! So this little Beaut came up.

What are you most proud of?

The entire project I am pretty proud of, they are a fun little number to make and to wear.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Take your time, remember to breathe while making this many pleats, try them bigger the first couple times until you get used to it, then watch out little pleats!
