    Phogfan86 - the answers 42!

    LOL.....

    Och ma brains nae gonna be gud fae much after this! I dinnae ken aboot these pleats!

    Right - serious brain on..... time to start reading - its all in the Bible - just gotta get ma heid aroond it.

    Update: Right - think I sussed it!

    17"1/2 for pleats at waist over 29 pleats = 5/8"
    21"3/4 for pleats at hips over 29 pleats = 3/4"

    29 pleats... urgh - well at least I should get enough prractice to get the last pleat sticked right! ;)

    BTW - I had a go at doing this in decimal as well as the old fashioned way (which was funky) and in the metric approach this website helped: http://www.metricamerica.com/convert...entimeters.htm as it broke down cm's to fractions of an inch unlike the cm/inch calculators that tell you - "oh yes thats 0.7 of an inch - which reauires a little bit more math!)
