004.jpgThe person I am making the kilt for has smaller hips than waist, Barbs's book says if the waist is bigger than the hips make them the same, then figure out the splits. His waist is 41", the tartan is MacDougall, 13 oz., 30 in. wide with a sett of 15.5 in. I emailed scotweb, where I purchased the fabric, they contacted the weaver & told me the approx. sett size. My customer wants his kilt pleated to the sett. With such a large sett, I'm not sure what to do at this point. I purchased 7 yards. When I laid out his measurments for the apron, then went to the center, started marking the pleats, I got only 12 pleats. I'm sure I have possibly made a mistake. If I require more fabric could I purchase it then attach it to the 7 yards to make up the difference. I am VERY determined to learn the Awesome art of kilt making. Any advice would be Very helpful. Here is a pic of the tartan. There are 2 pins at the bottom, marking what I believe is the sett pattern 1 on the left & 1 on the right (yellow pin heads). This pattern goes is both directions. Thank You Everyone Debbie
