    Ha, great, though inadvertent pun, there.
    I work at a good clip with my water bottle close at hand. I figured I wasn't building a space shuttle, just a kilt. Also, the whole thing was sewn with one bobbin. I got lucky and it ran out on the last strap. The nylon buckles were in my sewing stuff and that saved time going to the store. I've got a ton of cast buckles but I didn't want them clanking around in the drier and I was concerned that washing the leather too much would wreck it. Nylon to the rescue. I'll probably put velcro in my daughter's kilt I'm making her so it can grow with her easier. O'Neille
