Okay, Jimmy. You've got me curious now. I've got Barb's book, and a little over 6 yards of MacLachlan material coming to me. Before I Start on that, though, I've ordered 4 yards of stewart hunting to try my hand at first.

I was planning on doing a casual/traditional (wider pleats, being as it's less material) with the Stewart (pleated ot the stripe), but I'm a little unsure now, reading what you've wrote.

I guess my question is, will following Barb's book for traditional instructions still work, as long as I widen the pleats, but keep them uniform?
