Barb - that brown kilt is beautiful!!

I've settled on 33 pleats, but I will measure as I go along and stop when I hit the right measurements.

It sure isn't easy keeping horizontal stripes even, keeping the stripe centered, and tapering pleats all at the same time. I am truly, truly impressed by the professional kiltmakers here, my hats off to you all!!

I will take a photo of my pleats so far (I finished 3 yesterday....) to ask your opinion of how it is going so far. I am using a poly/wool blend, and I guess I am worried about the stitching..... even though this is my first completely homemade kilt, I want to do the best job I can...

thanks for all the help
