OK, I have some more questions. I separated the two pieces and the short side measures 76". My kilt will have a drop of 22", I might do a hem, so that would be another inch or so.

If I divide the 76 by 3 (this will give me 5 yards of horizontal stripes) that leaves me with a width of 25.3". I'm concerned that this will leave me with very little room for error, and I honestly have no idea how to hide two seams. I think I can figure out one seam, but two will be pushing my non-sewing brain over the edge!

So, to finally get to the point, I am wondering if 3 yards will be enough for my kilt.

My waist (measured at the navel) is 34", my hips (rump in x-kilt speak) is 38", with a 22" drop, and a 9" fell. I plan on doing 9 3" pleats with a 11" over apron.

If I can do the kilt with 3 yards that will make my life just a little it easier, so can it be done?

Thanks,
Jake
