Royal Stewart 5-yard kilt for cousin, a blow-by-blow

[Alan H]

Buckles and buckle straps are done and attached. Leather straps are cut out, dyed, punched, made all shiny and are now drying in the garage. Tonight I'll put them on the kilt with carpet thread and it'll be done.
Pics tomorrow (hopefully)...

I really hope my cousin decides that he's too chicken to wear this!

I attached the straps tonight and slapped it on and Joan took some pics. They're posted in the pictures forum.

I hope this thread proves useful for those starting off to make their own kilt, in terms of estimating how long, and how much work it will be.

I heard from the intended owner...He's scanning Stillwater Kilts for Sporrans and USA Kilts for hose. It's sounding good!
