pinstriped fabric question...
I was talking to another board member (waves at Moosehead!) about pinstriped fabric and he had mentioned that lighter weight pinstriped material is usually readily available at fabric retailers. Using his info I went looking at my local fabric store and noticed they did indeed have a few things similar to what I was looking for.
However, late last night while lying awake in bed it occurred to me that the stripe ran along the length of fabric, not across it to the selvedge.
So...I was wondering if any of the kiltmakers here could tell me how'd they tackle making a pinstriped kilt? I've seen a couple of awesome pics of Hamish in pinstriped kilts. How'd the kilt maker do it? Cut and join fabric, then carefully hide the joins in the pleating...and hem the edge? Or is there such thing as wool fabric with pinstripes running accross the fabric?
