"What I did on my staycation"

Finally, I've made progress, on a kilt that I (barely) started, last August, at "Kilt Kamp". I'm now basting the pleats - but have to return to work, on tuesday, so, maybe another month? ( MacDonald, Lord of the Isles, Hunting Modern tartan)

It is looking good. Looks like you've done a very nice job on the pleats. I'm looking forward to pictures of the finished kilt.

I think it looks great. Lately I've been thinking of making a kilt too. I have about 11 of kilts already, but think that it would be an interesting project, with a nice benefit at the end.

Question:
How many yards of tartan did you use to make your kilt? Thanks.

8 meters ( from 4 meters of double wide) of Fraser & Kirkbright 16 oz weight wool fabric

Absolutely superb ! I have always liked that particular MacDonald tartan . Your choice of pleating is also spot on . Based on the few open pleats in your pictures , it should have a very nice reveal on the swish . Well done . In my humble opinion , you have a good eye , good sir !
