Barb's first box pleated kilt

**Barb T** · 11th July 07, 03:15 PM

My first box pleated kilt, in Scottish Odyssey Tartan! I made it as a test for writing the pdf with Matt on box pleating.

It looks good to me!!!

Wow! That is a very sharp looking kilt! Very nicely done Barb! Is there any documents out there or even a good description on how to fold a box pleat effectively? I'd like to try it some time on some random plaid just to see how hard it is. It looks much more difficult than a knife pleat.

Again, great looking kilt.

That looks fantastic! Someone was taking notes! :-)

Now how did the Picts get into Matt's website? Did they attack it or take it by stealth?

Nice job Barb. I'm not familiar with the Scottish Odyssey tartan.
