So, I got this idea to make a denim box-pleated x-kilt with a tartan lining on the inside of the pleats. I went out to the fabric store last night and bought some denim and some cotton with a tartan pattern. Here are the two fabrics:

In order to figure out how to make it work I made a tiny little test with some box pleats the same size as my x-kilt. You can see it here:


So, all in all I think it might work! I'm going to lay out the pleats tonight and see if I find a method that is easy and accurate. Anyone done this before? Any advice?

At this point I plan on pinning the tartan directly to the denim (where the inside of the pleats fall) and then hemming the entire thing. Then I'll sew the pleats down like in a normal x-kilt with the tartan inside. I'll post more pictures as I move along.
