first double-box-pleat - nearing the finish
I'm getting closer, to finishing my latest: a double-box-pleat ( pleated to the sett) kilt, made of PV, from Fabricland, in Newfoundland tartan:

an "overview shot":

- "just" have to cut out the extra material, in the fell, sew-in the stabilizer & hair canvas, finish the apron ends and press.
A pleat shot:

and a final photo, showing some of the 'yet-to-be sewn-kilts' :

Nice. Are you going to sew in the pleat creases?
