Help A Newbie Kilt (X-kilt)
I've been following the directions for the X-Kilt, 2nd (final) ed., and I'm doing pretty well I think.
The part I don't understand is what the heck to do with the over-apron, the giant pleat underneath it, and the piece of fabric that is supposed to be attached to it -- the over-apron strip. I've read the directions about twenty times and it just doesn't make sense... probably because I don't know the right words to describe what I'm doing and the way it should look, and there aren't any pictures there. I get lost in all the rights and lefts.
At this point, I've got all the box pleats done, I've got the tapers to the waistband sewn, and I'm looking to tack down the top of the over-apron and then attach the over-apron strip that I never did anything with because I didn't understand where it'd go.
Does anyone have pictures of those parts -- so that I can see what is supposed to happen? Is there a secret step-by-step picture archive that I missed?
Bonus picture of kilt-in-progress, showing the dark digital camo pattern... I think I'm basting the waistband at this point after we fit it to my gut...
... And no, there isn't even the barest drop of scot in me, I'm just jealous of the ventilation! (Also, my co-ed rec league kickball team is named Commando, and, well...)
