First Kilt - Double Box Pleat

[PiperIV]

Did you sew the pleats from the fell to the top of the kilt yet? Or is that your next step to get the shaping?

Will be tacking in the shaping next. Following that, it will be time for scissors to cut away excess fabric in the pleat above the fell. Cutting is a VERY scary proposition, so I will be pausing before taking that step. Measure once, measure twice, pause, think, measure again then cut.

I just found the supplement to the AoKM this morning and am going to study it as well before doing anything permanent like cutting. This is kilt is very much an experiential learning activity, so I am taking my time to consider my options along the way.

I was going to suggest exactly that! I think you can sew this much more simply if you don't try to do the pleat basting first.
