article: Making a pleated skirt requires some basic sewing tools and a lot of fabric. You need more fabric to make a pleated skirt than you would to make a non-pleated skirt because of the folds. To make your pleated skirt, you will need: Fabric in the color and type of your choice. Cotton and wool make good pleats, while lighter fabrics like silk and satin do not. Keep in mind that you will need a piece of fabric that is long enough to fit around your waist three times, so you may want to measure the fabric while you are in the store. This amount will provide plenty of room to make the pleats for your skirt. Chalk Scissors Measuring tape Sewing machine Thread A 7" (18 cm) zipper. Use the measuring tape to get your waist measurement and skirt length measurement. Measure around your natural waist or wherever you plan to wear the skirt on your waist. Then, measure from your natural waist (or where you plan to wear the skirt) down to the spot where you want the skirt to end. Make sure that you record these measurements. Next, you will need to decide how wide you want your pleats to be. You can choose any width you like, such as " (1.9 cm), 1 " (3.8 cm), or 2 " (5.7 cm). However, it is important for all of your pleats to be the same size, so decide on a width before you begin folding. Keep in mind that the wider your pleats are, the fewer pleats you will have. If you want a lot of pleats in your skirt, then opt for a smaller width.

article: Take care not to dig a snow cave under the path of a potential avalanche or rockfall. Slopes with the wind blowing against them could be dangerous if you are staying overnight, as blowing snow could clog the entrance tunnel and block access to the outside air. If you can find a snowdrift at least five feet (1.5m) deep, a lot of your work will be done for you. Look for areas where the wind has blown the snow against a slope. Keep in mind you'll also need an area large enough to house however many people you have. A ten foot (3 m) diameter cave is comfortable for two or three people. Light, powdery snow may be difficult to work with, and is more likely to collapse. Fortunately, snow tends to harden once disturbed, so if you have the time to pile it up and wait for it to harden, you will likely still be able to form it into a snow cave. If you are in an emergency situation, one alternative is to dig a trench in the snow and use a tarp to cover it. Prop the tarp up with ski poles or branches stuck in the snow. This is easier and faster to dig, but will not provide the same warmth as a snow cave, and could become buried in a snowstorm. Warm, waterproof clothing is essential if you are out in the wilderness. Consider removing one or two dry under-layers of clothing before you begin working so you have something to change into if your clothing gets wet while digging. As for equipment, a compact snow shovel or two will make the snow cave's construction much easier. A non-smoke-producing light source is useful for overnight stays, but a candle or other small flame source can be used if you remember to create a ventilation hole. Ventilation holes are described further on in this article. Having at least two people build a cave together is highly recommended. Keep one person outside of the cave with a spare shovel at all times. This way, if the cave collapses during the digging, the person on the outside can shovel away the snow to rescue the person trapped inside.
