Starting at one end, leave a secton unpleated that's roughly half your waist size. This will be one apron. Then begin to gather the cloth into rough pleats. By no means should you worry about making these pleats nice and even. Just roughly gather the cloth until you have a gathered section that is, again, about half your waist size. Leave another unpleated section on the other end -- again, half your waist size. That's the other apron.

Then lay down on the cloth, parallel to the pleats/folds, with the bottom of the cloth about your knees (where you want the kilt to fall). Wrap the aprons over you, then grab your belt and run it under your waist. Belt everything on snugly.

Stand up. You'll have the longer end of the fabric now hanging over the top of your belt. There are any number of ways to arrange the upper part of the plaid around your shoulders. Expirament a little...
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE WORN MYSELF OUT TRYING TO PIECE TOGETHER FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES. I FEEL MUCH MORE PREPARED FOR THE STONE MTN. GAMES NOW. MORAN TAING, MATT!! ith:
