Pleating a Holyrood kilt - which stripe?
Hi all,
I just returned from a 3 week trip to the UK. About 12 days of that was in Scotland, what an amazing place...but more on that when I get some pics pulled together.
So -- Holyrood tartan. I lucked out and picked up a remnant of it (3.75+ yards 16 oz. double wide) in Edinburgh. Just perfect for making a kilt for myself. The salesman was very concerned that I would not be able to make a kilt out of it because there wasn't quite 8 yards, so gave it to me at a bargain price. I convinced him I would manage to work it out and make do without the last few inches of cloth. 
Here's my question: Most of my kilts are pleated to the sett, and I'd like to try this one to the stripe. Does anyone have experience, or even better pics of their Holyrood pleats made to the stripe? I've only seen it pleated to the sett, and would love to see some example of the stripe if they are out there.
