Here's my fourth DIY kilt: a knife-pleated kilt kilt using Stewart Gray tartan (that you've helped me identify) in lightweight PV (from Joanns, in fact).

This is my first attempt at working on a tartan. I didn't use any basting pins to sew the pleats, but they are machine-sewn. It's not that easy because it appears that the lines can easily get mismatched.

It's a work-in-progress. I'll post more pictures soon.

29 pleats, pleated to the stripe.



I tried it on, after finishing the pleat stitching. I haven't pressed it yet.
