Once upon a time, I saw a super cute pleated dress for a baby. I thought to myself, "I could do that," then came home to try it.
What was I thinking?
This took me an hour or so to complete...
That's right, 4 inches of pleating. . . 1 hour. This dress was supposed to be for Pretty's 1st birthday pictures (which still have not been scheduled). Instead, I am finishing it for Easter.
In the interest of full disclosure, it got easier after the first 4 inches because I figured out how to do it better. I also let go of having perfect pleats... Wish me luck!!

Looks great! I wouldn't worry, I got stuck just trying to put lining in a bag I was sewing, after about a total of 4 hours I ended up putting a plea out on my blog for help!
Looks good so far! Are you pinning straight into your ironing board? I do that all the time to hold seams I've just pressed & it works perfectly to hold them until the fabric cools!
Good luck! Can't wait to see what this 4 inches turns into.
We need to schedule her pictures!!
