Kilt Pleats

[GLASGOW]

OK folks, been away for a while but appreciated everyone's comments & input.
Since pictures are worth a thousand words, I thought I'd share a photo of the cloth I have (with a couple of yardsticks for reference).

Enough material for a kilt?

Assuming this is the same piece you were speaking of earlier (79"x56"), yep, it should be enough for a low-yardage kilt once it's ripped in half and joined into a single length.

Not sure what you're asking. The piece looks like it's double width and a bit more than two yards long, which sounds like the fabric you mentioned in the original post. Lots of people weighed in earlier and suggested box pleat or Kingussie, either of which would be dandy. Is there a different question that you have?

No, no new question. Just new to fabric terms, so I relied on a visual. Now I know that a 4 yard kilt can be made from 2 yards double width, & not have to be the whole 4 yards long. Wasn't sure before! And I'll be going with a box pleat.
