First DIY Kilt

[sydnie7]

Many of you might remember that I bought about 5 meters of the Maple Leaf tartan that Fraser and Kirkbright had for sale. The purpose of this purchase was to attempt to make a kilt using Barb's book. Of course the Maple Leaf is an asymmetrical tartan so a knife pleat is out of the question. . . [snip]

I seem to recall a post here from Barb that deals with knife-pleating an asymmetrical tartan to the stripe. It can be done if that is what you really want to do. I'll try to find that thread and link it here later.

Got it: and nothing said about "requiring a hem"?

That said, your current pattern is a lovely one!
