It turns out I probably had too much fabric that I was trying to pleat. I am now planning on 37 pleats, 1/2 at the waist and a touch over 9/16 at the hip.

This is my first kilt from complete scratch, and keeping those pleats straight, even, and the right size is much, much harder than I could have imagined.

It will be very satisfying to wear this kilt when I'm done.

Thanks for the heads up Robert..
