Okay, I've got it sussed. I'm using 3.25" for the facings, which means I have pivots of the center orange stripe and dead center of the broad green stripe. This material holds a crease pretty well, so once I press it, the 1.625 pleat depth should be enough to make it look respectable. I plan on making this one as quickly as I can without screwing up. (I hate using a seam ripper, I plan to avoid it!) I'll post pics of the finished article, but I don't think I'm up to the step by step.
