KILT part deux
So here is the second kilt making blog. Finally.
To re-cap a bit, here is the kilt with the framing square, the box pleats laid out and numbered, fall line chalked in.
Below is the end of my 15 pleats and the under apron, plus the excess fabric to the upper left in the pic.
Below is the kilt with all box pleats neatly pinned for sewing.
Here are the pleats sewn, see how the edges stand up!
Here are two good picture of the tapers pinned and pressed.
Next is the sewing.
Here is a crappy blurry pic of the sewn down tapers, note how even the seams are and how close together. Again, I am trying for a formal appearing garment.
And finally for this blog, a picture of the finished tapering. Note the curve in the kilt as described in your directions.
