Sewing tutorial: Women’s pleated midi skirt

I love a full skirt to dress up a simple t-shirt while still being super comfortable.  What I don’t like, though, are all those gathers around my waist.  They’re just not that flattering on me.  Autumn from It’s Always Autumn shows how you can sew a midi length full skirt that uses pleats instead of gathers.  The pleats add the fullness to the skirt without adding the bulk that gathers do.  Plus, I think the pleats look dressier than gathers.  It’s made from knit fabric which is comfortable to wear and easy to sew.
