    ok...you hint at the "lovely damaris" yet don't have a pic of her in an Xmarks t-shirt with you guys? hmm...need to think on that a bit..

    the kilts look great. Ever thought of making one of duck cloth? I know you can get decent duck over at Joan Fabrics as well as some walmarts.

    Thanks, I'm reasonably happy with them. Yeah, all you get to see is Damaris from the nose upwards. Pity, she's cute, too!

    I have some Navy blue cotton/poly twill for the next two, and then I'm making two more for friends and then that's IT for X-Kilts; it's up to you guys..

    I'm just not a fan of the narrow aprons. To me a kilt looks better when the apron goes all the way around the front of the kilt. I don't think tartan would look good with the curl that always comes with the smaller aprons either.

    It does look like you made some good kilts for your buddies.

    Great looking Alan. What was the final time investment for each kilt?

    Looks good, I would wear 'em (not both at the same time, that would just be silly).

    That's very fine work, Alan. You've been an inspiration to me since I first logged on to this wonderful forum. I've now converted 3 sport jackets to kilt jackets thanks to your influence and guidance. I doff my cap to you, sir
    I've kilt for less.

    It averaged out to about twelve hours, each. I can get that down to more like ten, but still and I'll I'm estimating that this is a fourteen-to-eighteen hour project for a novice.
