OK, I have to admit, I am a glutton for punishment....driving a school bus for 32 years, riding mules instead of horses etc.I am crazy.
And now I want to make a military box pleat kilt and I have been searching and reading and re reading all the threads on it for two days and am still a bit stumped on how to start the darn thing. Way2fractious, john and a few others have posted some great stuff but I am confused on how to start it.
Do I set up the pleats and fold them back onto themselves, baste them all down from the bottom and then taper the mess above the hip line?
One says to try and make the pleats 1" but if I have a hip measurement of 40" and the possibility for 32 pleats should I try and fold and sew them with a tweezer? should I just pour a Large glass of wine and look at the monitor some more? Arrrugh!
i just need to get started then I know it will all fall into place...right?
