Traditional, hand-sewn kilt, finally!

[The F-H.C.A.G.]

What went through your mind when you put in that last stitch?

You need to ask?! I was already planning the next one(s)!

...maybe one of the girls can wear it when the lad out grows it.....Cheers!

Unfortunately, I already had that thought. Sinbad has a few kilts he's outgrown, and I tried them on my daughter yesterday...her waist is already larger than his!


One of the reasons this project took as long as it did was because I put a substantial hem and hidden pleat in the kilt (to make room for alterations "later"). Little did I know that "later" was likely going to be in a few months, rather than next year. The way I put this kilt together, it will likely fit the boy until he's a teenager, but I'm not sure I'll go through the trouble of altering it. Then again, it would be good practice, before attempting alterations on a kilt made of more expensive (i.e. not free) fabric.

So, I promised a bit of a run down on the making of this....


Coming up...

Be well,
