Repleating an old kilt

[Brian F]

Well, I have decided to make another kilt.

After careful consideration of what to do with my ill-pleated but most loved first kilt, String came up with the idea of ripping the fell out and repleating it.

I liked this idea, and since I had a scrap of free time today, I decided to rip the seams out.

For the pictures:


This is the kilt in question, as worn this weekend. See this post for that and other photos.



These are the pleats, before ripping. I can follow the pattern that was trying to be made, but...no. I just don't like it. So I am probably going to pleat to the white stripe.



What I now have is 4 yards of very nice acrylic fabric.

Once I get this washed up (Wednesday, hopefully) I think I'll get my Matt Newsome on and make me a new box-pleated kilt, unless I decide that repleating violates my kilt buying/making hiatus.

Updates to come!!
