If I can add one tip to Barbs instructions may help you visualize pleating to Sett.
I use the strip from the center of my fabric that will eventually be the top band.
I cut one small piece of this strip that is long enough to pass around my butt from side seam to side seam.
I cut this strip so that the Tartan element that you have chosen for the center of the apron is in the center of the strip.
As I am pinning my pleat samples I will lay this strip right on the pleats.
If everything lines up you are right on.
I also use this strip when basting the kilt to make sure that the kilt is staying the right size.
Anytime you want to check that everything is fine, just pull out your strip and lay it on the kilt.
