Cadadh (sewn up kilt hose)

...If my numbers are correct, cutting a 36" by 36" square of fabric on the diagonal will give you about twenty-five inches to work with on each leg....

Agreed.

I've sewn these before and about one square yard per is needed. When you cut fabric on the bias it really eats up fabric and there'll be scraps left over no matter what.

Sew your prototype outta scrap fabric to get your pattern adjusted to fit your own legs. Once made, these are actually quite comfortable.

Slainte yall,
