At $7.99 a yard original cost, I walked out with what I consider a nice looking fashion tartan for $3.30 a yard. I got all 7.75 yards and now have to plan how to pleat the tartan for a kilt.

I did the same yesterday at JoAnns. I even posted the picture of the tartan for help with ID. One of them is very similar to Stewart Grey. Did you find that these some of these polyviscose are too lightweight? Hmmmm. we'll see. Let me know how yours turns out.
