Only 4 yards eh? Well, that'll make my wallet happy, but why do I always see mentions of 7 to 9 yards of material needed?
Yeah, I saw your thread Yeti. I needed some clarification though, as I wasn't seeing mention of 60" fabric.
Okay, so it doesn't matter if the extra plaid doesn't drape down the entire length of your torso? Just as long as it comes to the shoulder? If so, hey, great! I'll be able to get that new belt buckle I wanted after all.
I forgot to mention the pleats, because we figured that out all ready. On the Henderson tartan, we're going to need 6" of material per pleat, for pleating to the sett, with 12 pleats in total, making a grand total of 72" of material required for our pleats...yeah, 4 yards should be plenty.
Have I calculated that right, then? I'd like to know before I go ordering any fabric.
