Hey guys, I took some extra fabric (always buy extra fabric) and got my kilt material back to it's original length and put the deep pleat back on, stitched it down, this time as a square apron. It still kind of flares out in the front but I think a good bath in the washing machine will help loosen it up a bit. One more question, when I wear it, the pleats tend to curl in a concave manner. What is the best way to iron the pleats so that they wrap around. This is kind of hard to explain but imagine you have a kilt on and you look down, and the pleats look like little gutters. I don't want that, what I want is them to be flat strips or slightly curved with the edges of the pleat closer to my body than the center. I hope this is clear.
I want the whole thing to look like this from the top:
