Nightgown and Blouse Plates

Eight plates for nightgown yokes, blouse collars and sleeve bands, on 39 pleats. Soft colors and a mix of cable, wave and trellis rows keep the stitching light enough for flannel and lawn. The collection costs $19 once, with no subscription, and arrives as a ZIP with eight print ready PDFs, eight SVG charts and a short read me.

What each PDF contains

Page 1: the plate in standard graph notation, with pleat numbers along the top, row numbers down the side and a one inch check square printed at exact size.
Page 2: pleat counts and raw fabric widths for chest sizes 18 to 28 inches, a floss estimate per color and row by row instructions.
An SVG of the same plate that you can enlarge, recolor or print at any size.

How the numbers are worked out

Pleats sit a quarter inch apart and pleater rows a quarter inch apart. The floss estimate adds the visible travel of each stitch, a quarter inch per bite, four inches of tail at each end and 15 percent for waste, then converts strands into 6 strand skeins of 8 meters. You can try the same calculation for free in the Plate Designer before you buy anything.
