X-Kilt #1 started
A few days ago I started my first X-kilt since i didn't get a kilt for Christmas.
I'm using a brown twill labeled "potting soil" from Jo-Ann's and I'm just getting the hem done. had fits getting the right tension. The bobbin thread kept flipping multiple threads that got jammed under the stitch plate. Figured the bobbin wasn't wound tight enough. Making a measuring template to mark the pleats tonight.
"The Highland dress is essentially a 'free' dress, -- that is to say, a man's taste and circumstances must alone be permitted to decide when and where and how he should wear it... I presume to dictate to no man what he shall eat or drink or wherewithal he shall be clothed." -- The Hon. Stuart Ruaidri Erskine, The Kilt & How to Wear It, 1901.
