Waiting with bated breath...

[Shay]

So I sent out my first kilt today. I tried to take pictures, but all you'd see is a black squarish looking thing with silvery points- my camera is not the best.

I think I even put a little note inside pointing to XMarks, so I'm the one to blame if a huge bunch of firemen from the middle of PA start signing on and shouting hello.

I can't wait to hear what he thinks of it!

[GMan]

A reverse jonesing! Hope you have all sorts of positives coming back Shay.

I would make a wonderful crash test dummy for aspiring kilt makers. :-D

[Shay]

I have some green plaidish cotton if you've got a waist size for me...

(I can never remember if plaid or tartan is the right word for a geoetric repeating pattern of lines.)

Anyway- you can see pics of the pattern here.

May not be your cup of tea, though. (The cord's still kicking my *** right now, so I haven't been fabric shopping in a while)

I'd be happy to model! ;)

Hey Shay, where the hell did you get those rivets? I've looked everywhere, Joann fabric as ONE style of rivet, and online all I can find is: A) rivets for metalworking, or B) links to companies in hong kong/taiwan that make clothing rivets that will sell them by the pallet.

I found an excellent source for snaps, now I need rivets.

[Shay]

I found them at a super-Joann's, they're denim rivets.

*runs downstairs to check*

They're Dritz, the tan package with the needle tomato on it.

Sav- as soon as I finish wrestling with the cord, you're on the list.

[LordDamax]

Are they silver? The only rivets I've seen at my Joann's are chrome, in your pics they look at least copper or brass.

[Shay]

Oh, no, they're silver. We have yellow walls in my kitchen, it's probably reflecting off the metal.
Oh, but here:

Does that help?

I have changed so much that I need to find my tape measure and find out what I am now.
