STITCHING THE PILL PANEL INTO THE PLEAT

To create this panel I sewed in different pills by hand into the quilted sections of the material. I then topstitched these panels into the back of the pleat so the kick would be effective and relate to my concept. I made sure the straight lines were as accurate as I could make them because the pieces of fabric were uneven and different sizes. I made sure I sewed right against the edge so then the stitch line was hidden in case the pleat was opened.
