Kilt w/Frugal Corner material

[The Wizard of BC]

HeathBar,

Kilt fabric is measured in linear yards of double width fabric. This means that you take one yard (36") of 60" fabric and weigh it.

If, as in your case, you did not weigh exactly 1 linear yard you can convert everything to square inches and compare that way.

36" X 60" = 2160 square inches. Which should weigh 13 oz.

In your example you weighed a piece 117" X 53" or 6201 square inches and got a weight of 27oz.

If you do a quick cross multiply calculation you would get the weight of your piece of fabric as;
27/6201 X x/2160
27 X 2160 = 58320 / 6201 = 9.40

Which means your piece of fabric is 9oz. kilt weight.


Warning Will Robinson, Warning!!!!!!!!!

I am not judging Frugal Corners fabric!!!!!
I am not saying this is actually 9oz. fabric !!!!!!
HeathBar asked how to measure and weigh kilt fabric and I am simply showing how to measure a piece of fabric from the measurements given.!!!!!!!!!
There is no industry standard measuring system, no rules. This is only the method accepted by most kilt makers.
