Just finished mine- only took 2 hours!!! The ironing took about half that time. I used an old blue plaid dress I never wear and it was enough material. Thanks SOOOO much for this pattern. The others on the internet were much more complicated. This is perfect for the costume we need it for.

Thanks for the kilt instructions. Yours are the only clear instructions on the web.

the traditional response to “what is worn beneath a kilt?” is “Nothing, everything is in fine working order.”

Hi Lisa, I am a little confused as to what you are having trouble with. I actually wrapped the material around the person who was going to wear the kilt and then pleated it. If the material was too small, then I would have to sew 2 pieces of material together directionally top to bottom in the manner that you have suggested. In this case make the pleat in the part that you have added on to disguise it better.

Hi.

I’m a little on the plus size and I was wondering how you placed the material? I was always taught the the pattern had to follow the directionality of the material, top to bottom. I’m afraid this is a little confusing to me, even though I do make clothes for myself!

Thanks

Wow! This is a very comprehensive and step by step approach to making a kilt. Now all we need to know is “What is REALLY worn under a kilt?”

Nothing at all!

Hi Laura
I am glad that you thought that you would have found this post on making a kilt useful.
The best man was actually wearing a real kilt, so this makeshift kilt obviously was not as good as the one he had on. We only did this for a joke and we certainly got a few laughs with it.

I wish I had found your instructions before I made my granddaughters kilt!
Our methods were very similar. I hemmed her kilt before making the pleats. Much easier.
I hope everyone enjoyed the kilt at the wedding!
