Well, I finished blind-hemming the kilt. CRIKEY, that does it for blind-stitch hemming kilts...nver again..

Today I laid out the over-apron and figured out the pleating. It all works out very serendipitously. The natural subdivision of tartan elements all work out to just under 1-inch per element, thus 1 inch per pleat. If I center it such that the center-seam is nicely buried, I get 26 pleats across the backside, five per sett and one extra tucked in over on the far right. I have plenty for a nice, deep under-apron pleat and I folded back a nice deep fold under the fringed edge of the over -apron as well. This will help with how the kilt looks, since the material is on the light side. I'm pleating this one to sett. If I pleated to stripe I'd have something like 30 pleats, which is pretty darned nice. However, I want practice pleating to sett...that's half of what this kilt is all about and 26 pleats is just fine. Looking it over as it lay on the kitchen table this morning...

...Looks pretty nice. This one could be really good.

I couldn't ask for much better than that.
