Thanks Jimmy,
I took a lot of time on it, and so far numbers two and three are going a bit faster...
The fell ended up a bit long, as I mismeasured the hem, but it is only noticeable when walking (the swish really stops at the fell). I think I can fix that, as the steeking and lining are far enough over the fell that I can shorten it - when I feel like it.
The nicest thing about this kilt, is that it is fit for me... It really is nice having a custom fit. That and the fact that this is much heavier than I had thought it would be, almost three pounds - and that is with ~11 oz poly/wool. I like that feeling of substance.
I can't take all the credit on this first one. I used Barb's book, and it was a VERY good guide. I also asked Barb a few questions, and she was VERY friendly and helpful.
Thanks again!!
Now I'm really hooked........
