Chevron Pleated Skirt

Haven't posted in a minute but I've been working working working. Well I've noticed lately that pleated skirts have made a comeback. And I am a fan......but you could not have asked me this question years ago when I attended Catholic school. I wore school uniforms most of my life and back then I would have paid to wear normal clothes. I would of never guessed that I would have been a fan of pleats..LOL. Now I'm in love with pleats and have some future projects planned. This was a quick and easy box pleated skirt which I self drafted. Since I've joined pattern review I've been working with patterns more than ever and enjoy doing reviews. So when I have a project in mind I try my best to find a pattern which comes very close to the style I'm trying to achieve..... But I haven't found a modern up to date pleated skirt pattern or maybe I'm not looking hard enough..... I've found a few vintage patterns on sale on etsy and ebay, so if you are interested in a pattern maybe you can purchase one there.

This is a very inexpensive cotton fabric which I purchased from Walmart.....This skirt actually cost me $3.50...Not bad for a cute chevron skirt....hope you like! it
