Alright...I've begun my first foray into the world of kiltmaking. Here are some pics of my efforts so far. This is the regimental fabric that many of us bought at a great price on ebay late last year.

The kilt will be knife pleated to the double black pinstripe in the center of the blue field. It will have 22 pleats measuring 15/16" at the hips and just over 3/4" at the waist.

8 Meters of fabric ripped to length.


Playing with the pleats.


Apron layout.


Underapron.


Right edge of apron basted.


Left edge basted and pinned to first pleat.


That's all so far. I need to run to the store to get thread and hair canvas. I will keep posting pics to this thread as I go along.
