Call for Pictures: X-Kilt construction

[Pleater]

OK - try to get photos from camera to X marks - begin

It seems to have worked -

This is a reverse Kingussie style kilt in the design stage. It is made from four strips of fabric cut selvage to selvage. The pattern is not rotatable, which makes some difficulties.

First the removal of the white and orange selvage to make a fringe on the apron. Fortunatly there is no need to remove any fabric to have the apron with the light stripe in the centre and the edges on the same stripe.


The shaped edge of the apron.


The large under apron pleat


One possible pleating - will not work as the joins in the strips are not well placed, and to move them would mean losing too much fabric.


This will possibly work. Pleated to the stripe but in all three colours. Eight or nine pleats each side of the centre back.


Now to do the maths and press in the folds.
