5. 

   Now, get your iron. and iron the hem you made on both pieces of fabric that are now sewn together.

6. 

   Now start making the pleats. they should all be going into the same direction and try to make them the same size.

7. 

   keep doing it until you're done with the skirt.

8. 

   Iron the pleats you made until you're satisfied with the result.
