Tips and tricks: Properly shaping the top of a kilt

[Moosedog]

Thanks for posting this, Barb,

I just ran into the same thing and came up with the same solution--a busy tartan meant I really had to sew the pleats parallel at top but wanted more flare--so I sewed the pleats straight but stretched the top as I stitched in the reinforcing. Worked pretty well. Now that I see it's the way it looks even better!
