Or...is it all done with smoke and mirrors?
I made a self-lined kilt (used two layers of the same cotton) and I basically sewed them as one layer of fabric- I sewed them together at the 'apron' end and the hemline, then ironed the #%$%^ out of them to line them up for pleating. (I wish I had sewn the top, too... later I had to put on a waistband to hide the raw edge.)
