I am in process of making a kilt out of fairly heavy bull denim, not the stiff kind but a somewhat more flexable material. I am using knife pleating and have sewed the outside pleat edges 1/16 " from the edge. Will I also need to sew the inside edges as well?
My kilt design is similar to the Buzz Kidder canvas kilt pictures except that I am using velcro rather than straps. For my 36 inch waist, I have deep first and last pleats and 15 pleats in between, using 5 yerds of material.
Second question is how well should this hold sharp or semi sharp pleats? And how do people with bull denim kilts like them?
