    Looks good to me! Well done.

    I'm curious about your large kilt pin. What is it?

    Cheers

    Looks good!

    I would suggest a good pressing, then it'll look really sharp.

    thanks!

    the kilt pin is actually an artic fox paw. I got it with my full mask artic fox sporran. I dont wear the kilt pin often because its pretty big and the pin itself pokes a pretty big whole in the kilt. but i think it goes ok on this kilt.

    Listen to your family! It does look good all the way around, especially for the first attempt. Of course I am not a Kilt making professional.

    I like the bumper sticker.

    Looks good to me. Very well done for a casual, contemorary kilt. I think you did great.

    Have you thought of making small round holes using the buttonhole attachment on your sewing machine, or something similar to prevent fraying and damage to the apron?

    Anyone who has the courage and skill to try something like that gets a gold star from me. It looks good.
