I haven't done it but have had the same thought after buying my honey a 5-yarder from Burnett & Struth. Not sure how to pleat to get those shallower folds -- maybe choose something that can be pleated to the "no stripe" without getting the dreaded LCE. I just got some of the "tartan" from JoAnn's, but only 6 yards of a 44-inch wide bolt (that's all they had) so I may be finding out how to do it!
