Re: Oh for the want of a kilt selvedge
It is a lot of fabric when laid out, but it is amazing how the pleats can swallow up yard after yard of fabric and when you put the tape across the first trial folding you can find that you need to find a couple of inches more.
I have used poly cottons and the results are not bad, but I did find that the colours faded in the sun. Maybe it increases 'kilt cred' to have a truly weathered kilt.
