    I didn't quite understand the instructions for what is called the under apron pleat. do I just add on two inches to my apron measurement or is there a certain depth that it has to be? The apron is going to be 12 inches

    The under-apron pleat is deeper than other pleats. With a 12-inch apron you could go 4 inches or more (that is, 4 in pleat = 8 in of fabric).

    We just went thru this discussion recently, here's a post/photo for ref.

    LOL, yeah, that was with me. As I recall, if you laid out the kilt as Alan suggests, you should have the fabric for that pleat there already.

    in case you missed it, when the Wiz first posted it, you might want to get some of this, for your next kilt ?
