Pleating challenge #3: pleating an asymmetric tartan

[JolyStNicholas]

That is a grand job indeed lassie. Well done!

Early in my sewing of kilts I bought a whole bolt of an asymmetrical tartan-ish fabric.

It is pleasing to the eye, lavender, purple and black, but it doesn't rotate and match up.

No worries anyway, because the right side is brushed so it has to be cut across the width.

This kilting thing wouldn't be half so fascinating if it was easy.

Folding fabric into pleats to make a kilt has to have a solution but it is as intriguing as Sudoku puzzles, or crosswords.

That is a fine looking kilt there, Barb - and a nice bit of matching on the waistband too.

Buchannan!
When I ordered my fabric the weavers told me that I would need to order 8 yds... but they supply half double width, so they were very used to the problem.I would have thought that the weavers would mention it
