I had posted a question a while back wondering why a kilt could not be pleated left.
I have always pleated my other eight home made kilts with the top to my right. I pleated this one with the top to my left, not thinking about a left pleated kilt. After I had pressed and pined the kilt I held it up to see how it will look and lo and behold a lefty kilt, WOW.
I do all of my sewing on my old Singer. After hand basting the horizontal stripes in place I just starting sewing my usual 8" fall into place.
This is a other wise left over right closing kilt.
I still have the other half of the cloth I used for this kit and I belive I shall make it a lefty also.
As for getting in to an auto I diidn't think about that. I just finished the kilt yesterday and have not driven the car yet, so will let you know how that works out.
It does work well for walking I can vouch for.
