Looking for first kilt and I have questions

[KMacT]

Use her sewing techniques to make a truly beautiful and quality kilt. Use YOUR calculations for the pleat depth and width to get the best use of the available material. Combine the two and you just can't go wrong!

I've created a simple spreadsheet that helps do the calculations for pleating to the stripe and takes into consideration the size of the sett, the size of the waist and the number of yards of material. Very helpful to me and great for comparison purposes. Anyone who wants it should send me an email (not a PM, only an email - see below for my address).

So basicly I'm not going to be able to find a pattern but rather instructions.

I just ordered Barb's book, but I need something to show my grandma sometime this week, probably before the book arrives. How similar is this page compared to the book?

Or this one?

And I will shoot you an e-mail for that spreadsheet when I get back to my own computer.

Those websites are fairly good. I used them to make my first kilt. They'll give your grandma a real good idea of kiltmaking. Barbs book takes it to a whole new level and is even better to work from.
