Cammo X Kilt

[Lady Grey]

Thanks Stitchwiz
We help out at a BBQ for the homeless each week and he wore it, it was hilarious! Lots of good natured ribbing, I turned around at one stage to find him kicking his legs up in the air proving that he a) had shorts on underneath ( he learnt what 'commando' was... His reply " that's rude")
B) he could kick in a kilt and "you can't"
Despite the ribbing, we got lots of questions and a few admitted they had worn a kilt in the past. Lots were asking about tartan and I took one of my reference books this week for some to look at. Unfortunately it was far to cold for kilt wear. I've also threatened a few with making them kilts for summer. The general reply was " lots of pockets please.
Here's the back view of his swish

You will always have a special place in this young man's life. His kilt has started something and he will always remember that you made that possible. He has always felt different and this time it is in a very positive way. That is a good thing for his development. Baby steps, always baby steps, but they come more frequently when you can touch the heart. Good job, Lady Gray.

Get yourself ready, it looks like you have more sewing to do...

Thanks Again but it's nothing special
He and I have worked together for a couple of years... Our lunacy knows no bounds! We're very similar. He loves a dress up... I'm just helping put it in a more appropriate 'adult' way.
We host a big International Talk Like A Pirate Day event each year (I must make a skull kilt)
In April we went to the Australian Jane Austen Festival and had a hoot prancing around in Regency outfits. He does drama classes so we work on the costumes together.
People just shake their heads at the two of us... But we're the first ones they call when they need sewing, costumes or events organised.
It's all about channelling his quirks in the right direction!
Yeah... Skull Kilt!
