Hello there,

I'm a novice at sewing but have a keen interest in making my own kilt and matching tartan waistcoat
(one of the reasons being that most kilts tend to be too long off the peg).

I was wondering how much yardage is typically needed for a bias cut tartan waistcoat?

How much yardage would be needed for a 44in chest?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
