    If you feel a slight tingling at the base of your skull, that would be the envy-tronic rays I am projecting.

    Damned nice job.

    Kudos, that's how I would like my next kilt to look like.

    Thanks again, everyone. I've done the apron shaping, trimmed the pleats, attached the stabilizer and canvases, and am on to finishing the apron edges. With the pleat basting tidying everything up some skew in the pleats has become more noticeable - you can see it a little bit in the last photo, and it was particularly noticeable from the wrong side after trimming the pleats. But overall everything is still looking good and proceeding nicely, and I think everything will hang OK once the basting is removed.

    It was easier than I expected to do consistent stitching along the apron edge for the fringe. Time consuming, yes, but not hard - with matching thread it's surprising how invisible the seam is.

    Definitely worth the time spent on it though. A hasty job would surely show at the fringe.

    Kilty as charged.

    Definitely. "Painstaking" is the watchword.
