    You go HB! Nothing is more exhilarating than grabbing some really expensive tartan material and giving it a rip - love that smell

    I happen to have that same ironing board cover! Couldn't pass up the tartan design!

    I love yellow in kilts and as you say it's nicely muted so I am sure the finished product will look fantastic!

    And of course we will all want photos...

    Sooo how do you intend to pleat it?

    To the sett? Maybe a stripe?

    Or do we have to wait for the photos?

    The sett for this tartan is 6". I am going to use 3" box pleats and use 1.5 setts per pleat. In effect I am pleating it to the sett. Matt gave me the idea before I ordered the material. You don't usually get a box pleat to the sett. We'll see how it goes.
