That is a huge pleat. The biggest I've made before was a rolled pleat for the client's Henrician base skirt, at a 7:1 ratio. It was also really, really heavy and I was glad it wasn't me wearing it. Made a beautiful looking hang to the skirt tho, not that anyone else would notice.
And yes, I love that thin chalk holder, with all its many colors. I still prefer a regular chalk-pencil marker that I sharpen a little more for staying power, but this is my trusty backup.
I really need to start my project. I can't wait to see how this develops.
