Pleated to sett or stripe?

Oddly I find myself anxiously looking to get it back. I've never been a clothes person so this is weird..

Welcome to the addiction!

Sometimes when I start to pin a kilt all my intentions just evaporate and it is almost as though the design which emerges is something that the cloth itself designed.

That is how a perfectly ordinary 20 pleats became a 50 pleat mirror imaged reverse Kingussie, where the reveal is grey and black but the pleats flash alternately red and white.

I don't usually get a bit Zen about making clothes, but sometimes the kilt seems to make up its own mind about how to create pleats to that particular size in that particular tartan.

50 pleats eh? I'd love to see pictures of this kilt as well!

I just washed the kilt this morning - but I will put up photos as soon as possible - I have several photos to sort out, must get on with that too.

I've been to the south coast of England Anne. 7 Sisters area. Beautiful country. I did a painting of Eastbourne from Beachy Head.
