You know, what intimidated me was not the sewing, what just seemed impossible to me was setting up the pleats and tapering them....TO SETT. To stripe didn't seem that hard, but pleating to sett seemed hard. So I bought some inexpensive stuff and just figured "what the heck"...and went to it. It was hard but it went OK.


Then Piper George's lady commissioned me to build a tartan kilt for Piper George, which would be pleated to sett, and I gulped hard and said "Okay". thirty-something hours later, dang, but that's a pretty decent looking kilt.

If I can do it, YOU can do it.
