Going to start on sewing a simple kilt, will post pictures
So my first kilt was pretty much a disaster, I did learn a lot from it. I learned it takes a lot of time, a lot of patience, a lot of measuring and a lot of fabric.
I also learned the basics of what goes into a utility/American style kilt.
Sorry I didn't post pictures of the progress of the first one, couldn't find the camera. I should be able to post pictures of the second attempt as I believe I know where the camera is.
This next one will not be an Xkilt. It will instead be a basic utility style kilt. Knife pleating facing backwards and matching at the back end. Narrow front and made to sit where pants sit. I'm going to try to keep it as simple as I possibly can. This time the fabric is a camo fabric I picked up from Walmart for about $4 a yard. 100% cotton.
I will try to update this thread every few hours or once a day depending on how long at one stretch I work on it. If I try to do it all today, then I will try to update this thread every few hours. If I do some today, some tomorrow, then I will update it once a day (with pictures).
Wish me luck!
