How's that for a thread title?
This is the third kilt I've finished, the first box pleat I've made, the first "tartan" kilt, and as for Pittsburgh - well, you'll see.

I bought the fabric from this eBay auction a few months back because it looked like a good blue-and-white plaid (word used intentionally) to make a kilt out of. Unfortunately, as I mentioned in this thread, it only looks blue under natural light - under any other condition it looks purple.

So after some yellow dye, and some sewing - a black and gold kilt:





The left edge of the overapron isn't quite right, and the fabric stretched during sewing, so the waist is a bit messy, but at least the pleats are right.
I'm going to have the buckle back further, I think.
