Going to start on sewing a simple kilt, will post pictures

Sorry for lack of updates, have had a massive headache the past couple days. Been doing a lot of sleeping. As soon as I can concentrate on sewing, I'll start.

I started getting a major headache as the cloth was washing.

BTW- don't use box pleats.

I plan to use knife pleats

It's fairly light, unfortunately, so I don't think I'd wear it in public.

It's fairly light but I still think I can do something with it. Even if it's too light to wear in public, It will still let me try out my mods to the xkilt design.

Agreed. I love the material itself. Added to the fact that it was my third x-kilt and built better than the previous two, it's extremely comfortable. I almost slept in it the other night, but didn't want to scare my room mate in the morning.

If you have enough of the fabric use it doubled.

DPM often has to be worn cut selvage to selvage to look right, so needs a hem, by doubling it you avoid that, as you have the raw edges covered by the waistband and a fold at the bottom.

I have not done a kilt using double material but it works well for jackets and period garments which were made from heavier fabrics than those easily available at the time - this was pre internet shopping for me.

As most cotton kilts are sewn along the outer folds the two layers of material will be held together quite well.
