My copy of The Art of Kilt Making arrived yesterday <manly squee!> I was up late last night reading the first for chapters and took some photographs of possible pleating styles for my cheep-plain-weave-asymmetric-not-a-tartan wool fabric. I just cannot bring myself to attempt my first kilt project with $50/yd tartan. This was only $6/yd.
I don't think it's possible to pleat to the sett with this stuff. At least I wasn't able to figure it out.
Sorry about the quality of the fold and pics - it was midnight when I took them.
I'm pretty sure which I like best, but I'd like to get other opinions.
