Fabric pleating is an ancient craft that has been a part of Britain’s textile heritage for centuries, used in the creation of garments, furnishings, and decorative items. The art of fabric pleating, which involves folding fabric into precise, repeated patterns, requires skilled hands and specialized equipment. This technique has been used in everything from traditional clothing to high fashion. However, fabric pleating is now endangered due to the rise of fast fashion and mass production, which favor quicker and less intricate methods. Preserving this craft is essential for maintaining Britain’s rich textile and fashion history. By supporting the remaining artisans who specialize in fabric pleating, we help ensure that this delicate and beautiful craft continues to thrive for future generations to appreciate, and craftspeople from whom we can learn.
