Pleating challenge #5: getting a precise pleating to the stripe

[Barb T]

Kyle had originally asked to have it pleated to the double white stripe. Because the double white has an interior double dark brown and a central red, the outside edges of the white stripes are far apart - farther apart than the outside edges of the double blue in the Grant in the original post above. When I did a test pinning (below), I thought that the white stripes looked kind of crowded together without enough red on each side, so I suggested to Kyle that he consider pleating to the sett. This is always a matter of personal preference, of course!



And it turns out that I _did_ take a pic of Kyle's kilt with my iPad before I sent it (it was such a terrible pic that I thought I'd deleted it). The pic below is low res, and the colors aren't very good, but it does clearly show that, because the kilt is pleated to the sett, the front and back look essentially the same. Kyle will post some better pics!
