Hair Canvas?

Well, the Heavy Hymo from B. Black is NOT expensive. I ordered 2 yards of it for $9.95/yard and shipping only added a few bucks. So I got my hands on 2 yards, a 72" by 72" piece, for about $25. That's enough to use on at least almost 6-7 kilts. That makes the cost of it around $4 a kilt. So how much would you spend on interfacing for just one kilt? About the same probably, but it won't quite do the job right. So click on the Hymo, add it to your cart, and have a mini-Jones while you wait for it to arrive.

If anyone is figuring canvas amounts and is interested in how much I use, I typically use a 36x36 piece for one kilt. So a yard of 72" wide would do me for two kilts.

So that I don't have little scraps left over, I measure the depth of the piece that's needed for the pleats and cut two pieces that width. With all the pleating of the interfacing in the pleats, I use both pieces for the pleats. Then I split the remaining piece and use it for the apron and underapron. Works great, and doesn't waste interfacing.
