Looking good! Still too scared to start making mine, but I gotta jump in feet first sometime. I'll be referring to this thread as well as a few more, besides Barb's book. Keep posting!

I just finnished the nerve-wracking part... cutting the pleats. Here are some pics

This is the hole for the underapron strap

so far so good... i just hope I got the measurements good enough for it to fit right

here is a question for kilt makers out there... When you do the steeking, do you go through the whole thickness of the pleat or something. Or do you just go through one thickness. I don't quite understand this part that well.
