How's that for a thread title? This is the third kilt I've finished, the first box pleat I've made, the first "tartan" kilt, and as for Pittsburgh - well, you'll see. I bought the fabric from this eBay auction a few months back because it looked like a good blue-and-white plaid (word used intentionally) to make a kilt out of. Unfortunately, as I mentioned in this thread, it only looks blue under natural light - under any other condition it looks purple. So after some yellow dye, and some sewing - a black and gold kilt: The left edge of the overapron isn't quite right, and the fabric stretched during sewing, so the waist is a bit messy, but at least the pleats are right. I'm going to have the buckle back further, I think.
Pleats look good, a few larger ones instead of smaller it appears. But dude, how about a smile, or at least a grimace instead of the scowl??
The kilt concealed a blaster strapped to his thigh. Lazarus Long
Sorry, my expression is a combination of: having just driven two hours with a splitting headache in post-holiday traffic, andthinking "Why hasn't the flash gone off yet? It should have gone off by now." [cocks head to one side like confused dog] "What is taking this camera so long?" [FLASH!]
