First try at making a kilt….so many questions!
Hello everyone. I am rather new here, and to wearing, and making. It seems like there are so many questions that I don’t know the answers to.
I am sewing my first kilt now. It will be a solid color box pleated. I had available to me some medium (approximately 10 oz) bull denim. I am planning to wear a kilt almost daily, as I have been for several months. Since it will be a daily wear I was wondering if this is a good choice? I will be making another when this one is done. Eventually I will be sewing one with a proper tartan for occasional wear. Any suggestions are welcome.
Some of my questions, in no particular order are:
1) What is the purpose of beeswax?
2) The supplement to TAoK-box pleating does not mention solid color material?
3) Any advice about adding pockets?
4) What has anyone else used for material for a utility or a casual kilt?
I am sure that I have many more but this is a start.
Thank you,
David
