    1st TANK

    I've just completed my first TANK!! Thanks so mush to Barb T. and Elsie S. for their awesome details in "The Art of Kiltmaking".
    I set in the car for a bit and the pleats look a little mess, but they looked great right after pressing.




    Not sure what my next project will be...

    mj_all: I like it! Thanks for the pics. What tartan is it? Wish I had the skill and wherewithal to make my own kilt. Congratulations. Others more knowledgeable than me can tell you how to straighten those pesky pleats. I worry about that all the time.
    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    Not any "real" tartan. I picked it up at Hancock Fabrics. I think it is a wool blend, because it has a fleecy feel. Thanks for the Praise!! -Mike

    Congratulations on taking the plunge and making your own kilt. I am very envious that you have the skills to do so. Wear it in good health. Cheers

    Thanks Cowher! I just ordered some light grey hose. I received my traditional garter ties from Matt N. in purple on Friday. I will try to post some more pics soon. -mj_all
