Starting on my first kilt

[Schultz]

Since Alan posted an update for his kilt, I thought I'd post mine.

I spent most of the day yesterday working on it, and managed to finish the aprons, sew in the canvas, and begin working on the waistband. I think my wife is more interested in seeing it finished than I am if that's possible.

But nothing was more satisfying that cutting out the pleats and steeking it, which I did last week. I felt incredibly accomplished after doing that and the rest of this has definitely seemed easier.

I told my mother that I was almost finished with it and she looked confused. "But you don't have a sewing machine," she said. She looked both surprised and incredibly proud when I told her I was sewing it all by hand. I can't wait to show it to her. Hopefully it will be finished by this weekend, and you can be sure that pics will follow!
