Mini Kilt; From the Beginning

[O'Neille]

Hand-Knitted hose???

OK, now THAT is an achievement..... I wanna see those.

Not by me Alan, I've made this mini-kilt to trade w/ Red Lioness for a pair that she will knit me. I am however, starting weaving lessons this week. The loom in the first picture is sitting behind me waiting on wool, as I'm sitting here. O'Neille

Finally, I sewed the inside waist band by hand as well and the aprons to keep them from peaking out.

Here is some of the inside work.







And finally sew up some belt loops to match tartan and sew them on.



I came up with some unique flashes that I will post separately. O'Neille

David, Thanks for clearing that up for me. I was sure someone would enlighten me. It would have taken me longer to find online than to make the whole outfit.

I want to see how it looks also. It's a little different making from measurements you didn't take yourself. O'Neille

Finished everything and am on my way to the post office.

Here are the finished off belt loops.





And here are two showing the mini-kilt, flashes, and fringed sash.




And just so she can have options or look like a tartan explosion accident. I made a hair scrunchy (couldn't leave that leftover piece of material lying around, could we?).



It's going to the post office now. I can't wait to see it modelled soon. I hope you like it. O'Neille
