Tucks

 
Tucks are textile technique that creates detail on a flat piece of fabric. Tucks work with folding and sewing fabric. They are very similar to pleats but not the same.

Pin tucks: Are small tucks sew in parallel lines
 


Diamond pin tuck: The same as pin tucks but in a diamond shape, but instead of just parallel line in one direction they are in  both horizontal and vertical directions but diagonally.



Centered tucks with bow ties: these are two wider tucks parallel pinched together in intervals and joined to create a bow tie look.



Cross tucking: these are made up of multiple tucks in a variety of sizes placed horizontally and vertically



Smock tucks: made from rows of tucks all joined at different intervals to create diamonds shapes.



Undulating tucks: these are made up of wider tucks which are sew to flatten then down in alterative ways
