Havent ripped the fabric to single width or anything like that yet, but figured i'd see what it looked like pinned... Of course calculations are a little "bag of a fag packet"

It's a 10.25" repeat, so 7 yds makes the pleats about 1.25" each with 18" ish aprons... Now when is this calculus malarky going to be useful for something?
i just thought of an idea, you can mount light wait fabric to make it more durabal. this is a process of adding a second layer of fabric on the back side. there is a special stitch used to sew the pieces to gather. its similar to a tailors tack you take small stitches each stitch splits the treads so it dosn't show threw to either the inside or out side layers vary time consuming. and of course iv not heard of any one doing this for a kilt but its done all the time in woman's catura when a fabric is to light for its intended perpes IE Jackets or paints. its like sewing two fabrics in a way that makes them act like one solid piece if your interested MSG me and explain the stitch to you.
