Help with an X-Kilt

[Doomsday]

OK, question. Mostly for Alan, but if anybody else knows please feel free to give some direction. In the X-Kilt directions it shows to measure 5 1/4 inches between each 3 inch pleat. However, in the birds eye view it shows to measure 1 1/4 inches X 4 between each pleat, this equals only 5 inches. Now what do i do???

Right, this is a little goof that I never quite cleared up.

Forget the "birds eye view". That was just to give you an idea of how the pleats laid out. Focus on the 5 1/4 inches between each pleat, during layout. You can even make it 5 1/2.... You could even make it 5 3/4 and lose all of the space between the inner pleat folds, when you fold it all up.

Nah, don't make it 5 3/4, but 5 1/2, sure. That will result in your waistband being a little bit thicker because more material will overlap up in the tapers/fell, but then that might be worth it for the deeper pleats.

:yes: Perfect, that's exactly what I needed to know. Ha Ha tonight I begin laying out the pleats.
