Right, this is a little goof that I never quite cleared up.



Forget the "birds eye view". That was just to give you an idea of how the pleats laid out. Focus on the 5 1/4 inches between each pleat, during layout. You can even make it 5 1/2.... You could even make it 5 3/4 and lose all of the space between the inner pleat folds, when you fold it all up.



Nah, don't make it 5 3/4, but 5 1/2, sure. That will result in your waistband being a little bit thicker because more material will overlap up in the tapers/fell, but then that might be worth it for the deeper pleats.

:yes: Thanks Alan H

My Goodness this is a long thread if you don't stay current ...

However I found the answer to my box pleats question after looking at my girl Red's tartan fabric last night (right after shoving all her stuff off the dining room table ... ). NOW I get it ... maybe.

I'm gonna see if I can get a few yards of Cali from James.
