Thank you all for the compliments. I must admit to being surprised that it turned out so well for a second attempt.

To the sett? TO THE SETT!!! (Pleater)
Now you can carry through on your "threat" or "challenge" to Pleater (shame on you for toying so callously with her mind!) and fashion the other half into an MBP pleated to the sett. (w2f)

I must confess that my original comment had been somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but why not do it that way? It's just a knife pleat kilt with the outside end of the pleat folded back on itself. (Yeah, right. Plus a silly amount of extra basting.) So, I did a quick pinup test on the centre leftover strip just to see if it would work. It did, so I guess I've been hoist on my own petard! It will take longer than one done to the stripe as you have to work with 7 or 8 different bits of the sett instead of just the dominant stripe. I'll have to study the part of the book that deals with the matter.



I have never, ever, liked offset fringes, especially those little bristle-like 3/8-inch things on some commercial kilts. Give me a REAL fringed edge! So I use a five-inch piece, fringe both sides to a full 1/2-inch, fold one edge behind the other, and line it up behind the fringed fabric edge for a triple layer, but not offset or staggered. (w2f)
That would make an impressive fringe. If I may, I'll use it on my next one.
