Stretch Test

[gsmacleod]

I ended up with two acrylic kilts; one was given to me and one was for sale used locally for next to nothing in MacLeod of Harris.

Following Steve's wonderful posts here (mostly this one - http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...05/index5.html), I added a stabilizer and interfacing to both. While it may not be "worth it," to spend all the time modifying an acrylic kilt, at some point I'm going to try to build my own kilt so I figured it would be great to learn these skills.

I've learned quite a bit and my hand sewing has improved dramatically so I feel much more confident about tackling my own at some point.

I also basted and repressed which has improved things quite a bit in terms of how they hang in the back. Not perfect but I've reduced the shower curtain effect quite a bit.

Good luck,

Shane
