Pleating this tartan to the sett

[Barb T]

No reason to use all the fabric if it will look better pleated in a way that uses less of it. I've made several kilts where it just looks better to use less fabric.

In fact, I just finished a beautiful Hunting Robertson kilt pleated to the red stripe and had a chunk left over. If I'd used all the tartan, the pleats wouldn't have looked balanced because the red stripes would have been too close together at the waist.
