    Re: The endless military box pleat questions...

    Thanks AA this is a box pleat with a "Twist" so to speak.
    Jhokin, i have studied your posts too. did you start at the over apron and work left (top of the kilt nearest you) laying out the pleat towards the left and then folding onto itself so the edge of the pleat is toward the over apron?
    This will be an xmarks tartan pleated to "No stripe"

    Yes, I did start at the overapron, but, as you'll see, I did not stitch down the hip curves, and I included a deep hidden pleat, on both sides of the pleats.
