Thanks Riverkilt.
The construction details on the website are for 'normal' kilts - though it is interesting to see the photos of the kilts the sort of information I would like is on the way the two and multi colour kilts are made.
The two tone ones look as though the presumably heavier material of the outside of the pleats is cut in rectangles then joined above the fell and shaped into the waistband. The inside material, presumably is continuous in the two colour kilt, and the free edges of the outside material are sewn down onto it. Or perhaps it too is strips sewn to the edges of the outer fabric.
I just wonder - is the underneath material only from fell to lower edge or is it waist to lower edge? Are the outer strips rectangular or wider at the lower edge than the fell? If they are wider, is one side straight and the other shaped, or is the shaping even on both sides.
Where there are different colours in the underneath material, is it made into a continuous strip or is the back of the outer material visible and the underneath attached at the edges?
Are the edges of the fabrics turned under or laid flat and over sewn, as that would be less bulky.
So many possibilities would take quite a while to try out - and I am already up to the eyebrows in material waiting to be sewn up.
