First X-kilt using Ripstop Camo

[cyxa]

First kilt made from 5 yards of ACU DIGITAL NY/CO RIPSTOP CAMOUFLAGE FABRIC MIL SPEC 64"W CAMO BY THE YARD purchased on ebay from rrt trading post. Fabric was washed and dried on hot to maximize shrinkage then cut in half for the length. I used approximately 4 1/4 yards for the kilt itself with the remainder for the pockets and belt loops.

Quite pleased with how it turned out. The most difficult part for me was the pockets; how big to make them, how to attach them, where to attach them...I ended up place the top of the pocket at the fell line then placed the pocket flap above it. And I sewed it at the bottom in the center only to a single pleat that was opened up so it wouldn't catch the underside.
The ripstop nylon was perfect for maintaining the straight pleats - just follow the dominant thread!
