cartridge pleats successfully completed!
I am just around the bend from finishing my 1860 day gown. I successfully completed the cartridge pleats this afternoon while watching an episode of BBC's All Creatures Great and Small. I gave my husband the full eight years on DVD for Fathers Day. He was well-pleased.
These pleats are not difficult in themselves to sew, yet it helps to have a few tips to keep from creating undue frustration. I found some excellent tips here for which I am thankful.
Now all that needs to be done is the hem, and perhaps some embellishment on the sleeves and front bodice.
