DIY attempt number 4

[Aspiringloser]

I finally finished the pleats tonight. I figured I go ahead and post before it's done work in progress style. Buccleuch tartan PV from Marton Mills. I could have cut some of the fabric out for fewer pleats but I'm not a fan of waste. I paid for all 8 meters so I'm using all 8 meters. More pics to come with more progress...

Thanks guys.

The fell looks perfect to my eye. Good job.

There are a few waves but the centers are still centered. You have to really examine it to see it. I'm hoping no one will be looking at my *** that closely to be able to see it.

Looks great! That tartan is awesome and I love pleats to the stripe!

[Aspiringloser]

The sett is so small that I felt I could only pleat this one to the stripe. I was focused while sewing the pleats. I haven't done much else to it since finishing the pleats. I think I've sewn half of the join. I need to find my motivation again. Thank you for the kind words.

Nice work, and lovely colours.

No need to apologise for not wasting any fabric.

There is a long history of frugality to live up to when making 'ethnic' garments.

Lovely job! I'm betting it will look excellent in the "Photo's" we see when you've finished
