St. David's Pleated to Center White Stripe

**O'Neille** · 3rd November 07, 12:06 AM

After finishing the Xmarks kilt I had the urge to make another with a twist. The twist was poly viscose, pseudo-trad, asymmetrical. I received about 5.5 yards and was going to join and hem it. That would have left 3 yards of waste. So I decided to make a 5+ yarder in an almost traditional style. I followed Barb's advice and used invisible blind hem thread because of the two primary vertical stripes.

I got the pleats sewn this evening, 19 pleats at about an inch and a double set deep. I just arranged the pleats to show my decision to go with this pleating pattern.

Here is green that should flash nicely.

I went with this pattern because I haven't ever seen it this way. The only ones I've seen are to the set and half red and green striped. What do you think?

I'll update when it is done.

Should look good O'Neille

That looks unbelievable, the way it should flash is incredable. I am always amazed at the amount of talent here at x marks.

It will be very striking!

Looking forward to the finished project (hm...at the rate you are going it'll be done by breakfast...)

Thanks, it was miserable deciding how to pleat this one. I will have it done by breakfast----next week. Tucson games are tomorrow so I'll be sleeping in so I can stay out late.
