Ok, I have some "in progress" pictures...
Here is the kilt from the right side out:
I've done the outer apron and the pleats. All of the pleats are sewn on the edges to keep their shape.
Here is another view which shows the pleats:
These suckers are DEEP. I have a 3/4 inch reveal and they are 5 inches deep.
I wanted a good swing to it. (see my tagline)
Here is where the inside of the pleats has been cut away and reinforced with a piece of cotton cloth. According to Barb's book this will keep the pleats from stretching.
And another view...
There isn't too much more to go. I need to add 2 more pleats (to adjust the size) and finish the inside apron. The waistband should be easy after all of this.![]()
I hope these pictures help somone.
