Hello Barb,
thanks for taking a look at this! My measurements are waist 32 1/2, hips 38 inches, plus 1/2 inch each for future adjustments, and 26 1/2 total length. I am working with 7 yards, formerly double width.

Splits (including the extra 1/2 inch):

Waist apron 17 1/4
waist pleats 15 3/4

hips apron 18 3/4
hips pleats 19 3/4

Looking at the tartan and how I understand the TAoK method, I would mark out the pleats like this:


To me this looks like I am slightly too far apart with the markings. I just now tried to fold the tartan the way I think it would make sense, and then put a marking pin where the center of the pleats would be. Then I get roughly this:





That gives me about 1-inch pleats and a distance of 12 3/4 inches from the center of the last pleat and the end of my front apron flare line. This would be 17 pleats in the whole kilt.

I know I need to be more precise when I eventually start stitching. These were just quick pictures from now, I hope you get the idea.
