Make a simple pleated skirt manual-free download

This is a guide to making a very simple pleated, tartan skirt. The way I wrote it, the skirt closes with velcro, but you could easily adapt the whole thing to having straps/buckles or buttons or what-have-you.

This is similar in purpose to the X-Kilt manual. It's for a simple, easy-to-make skirt for the newbie sewer and the guide doesn't have a lot of jargon. Guys who know how to use power tools and have make an X-kilt can use this manual to make the lass in their life a nice, lightweight skirt for the Games or whatever. She will faint, when she first puts it on. YOU....her man.....actually made this thing. She will brag on you to all her girlfriends, for months.

Lasses are allowed to download and make the skirt as well.

This is NOT a manual on how to make a killer 6-yard, 13 ounce wool drop-dead-wooohooo, below-the-knee kilt skirt. It's for an above-the-knee, "four yard" (even three yard) , very simple (not built with sophisticated fitting details) skirt with something like a 12-15 pleats. It will make a very nice mid-thigh length miniskirt for a younger lass to wear to a warm summer event. Made out of PV, it would be an excellent athletics skirt for a female thrower.

The X-Kilt guide is a beyond-all-expectations success. This guide never got as much traction as the X-Kilt, but I haven't publicized the download URL for a long time, so here ya go.

Enjoy.

Might have to give it a go. I need some material for another x-kilt, so what the heck, I'll get some for this too.

Thanks for the guide Alan.
