First of Possibly Many Construction Questions

[Naught]

Thank you both. I’m still waiting for the book. These last few kilts needing repair are not being worn this season, so I have plenty of time to spare. It’s fascinating to see the differences in construction.

When you say “apron”, is that the interfacing/lining combo on the two front sections that wrap? Or the entire front pieces?

The lining and interfacing in my first picture doesn’t have folds, rather is cut in a curved trapezoidal shape - if that makes sense. The interfacing is sewn to the lining at the bottom edge, and is basted/stitched to the pleats and to the sides of the front linings. The black cotton had been hand-stitched along all four edges.

In Steve’s pictures (aside from a glimpse of Hello Kitty) it looks like the interfacing is sewn to a separate tartan piece. Because the top of the pleats in our kilts has been cut away, I don’t know that would work for these…. unless it were sewn down at the bottom. Edit: disregard this part. I just needed my glasses. Haha!

Can’t wait to get the book!!
