Ok...I have read a lot, looked at diagrams a lot, and have finally gone out and bought the fabric...5 1/2 yards of poly cotton in a nice grey-green fabric that I think will work really well with the tweed jacket that I'm converting.
I'm going to make a more or less traditional cut kilt with a knife pleat and I think I have gotten it figured out except for one thing (one thing for now that is).
And that is, is there some standard for the width of the under apron pleat?
It doesn't look like it would matter much, but I thought I would ask before diving in.
My apron will be 20 1/2 wide (since my hips are 41) and my pleats will be about one inch showing with the under pleat about 4 inches total width. Would this be about right for the under pleat? Oops. I guess that's two questions isn't it?
Thanks
