What do I need to build a handmade kilt

That should be fine.
Have you decided how you are going to make the pleats? Choices are to the set, folding so the set of the tartan is repeated in the pleats from the fell down to the lower edge, or to a stripe, so each pleat shows the same part of the sett.
It is usual to place a dominant stripe in the centre of the over apron, and have the same centre back, or have two stripes equally placed from the centres.
As you have a good length of material you should be able to choose how to arrange things.

I was looking to pleat to the stripe, there is a nice grey line, tried it out, and has a nice red flash.
