I'm not sure why I did that?

I had a little fun with the lining and to say I have never picked up a needle before this project I'm really pleased with the outcome...

here are some photos of the kilt and lining

And here are the photos of me wearing my kilt that Barbara asked for...

The first two are of front and back, the second in day wear and the last in PC...

What a fantastic book (TAoKM) and once again thank you very much Steve & Barbara for all of you advice and help.

I am very impressed. You have done a job to be proud of. And I love the kittens.

Meow too... (sorry couldn't resist the pun). I think I'll stick with a pictured lining for my next attempt. Hopefully in Farquharson Weathered

I am, thanks... although as I said I wasn't happy with the apron. I tried pressing it again and it made matters worse... here's what it looks like now (much worse) but the exaggeration shows where my problem was and I'm not sure how to put it right?
