Update
I actually started on the kilt, since I was home sick from work.
AlanH, I should have listened to you, but I'm gonna try and finish it. I cut my 76.5" piece into 3 pieces, 25.5" x 64", and sewn them together. I did a half way decent job considering I have not used a sewing machine since middle school (18 years ago, I think).
I'l post up some pics when I get the pleats finished.
And there are a couple of things to remember if you are making a kilt while sick:
1) Always have tissues close at hand while working over the material
2) Don't try and hold back a sneeze whilst sewing, almost bloodied my tiger camo!
3) Last, but not least, do NOT take cold medicine before you start working on your kilt! I had to re figure my measurements 5 times before I gave up and took a nap so the medicine would wear off.
