First "traditional" kilt project

[Heming]

Bump! The book arrived yesterday, and I've read it through once. I'd really appreciate any thoughts you might have on pleating before I rip my fabric...

Read the book again - the first bit at least, then measure the fabric, think about it, check what you want to make and measure again, just to be sure. You can measure as much as you want, but once the fabric is divided there is no going back.

It is always a bit daunting the first time, but if you can work out what you want to end up with and visualise the finished kilt with the hem in the right place and enough fabric between it and the waistband etc., it seems to help - at least for me it does.

As Pleater says. And be extremely careful when you sew the pleats together. The slightest deviation will be very visible.
