x kilt questions on pleats

[Alan H]

My next problem/question as I settle down for the night/ 3:30 in the morning:

Do I bar tack the over-apron to the pleat next to it, or leave it to flap, and let the waist hold it together?

I've made 6 of these. On two I tacked on four I didn't.

You pick. I personally vote for not bar- tacking the over-apron down, but instead, just running one line of stitching along the pleat edge, about 3-4 inches down from the waistband. However, if you sew the waitband strongly, that'll work just fine.
