Here is a photo of me in my kilt. Completly done by me and my grandmother. The material is a thinner but tartan wool material. The tartan is a generic one that I found at a material store for cheap. (I cannot afford the 65.00$ US a yard Cochrane clan tartan of my family yet) I sewed the sporran and the Plaid Fly, and my grandmother did most of the work - the Kilt itself. Its bordered at the top with a black end border work. pleated all around the back like a normal kilt. This is a 4 yard casual kilt. - I am a small person and 5 yards was just too big on me. She finished off my sporran with the machine as well as the kilt. I finished the kilt by making the ties for the closing of the kilt when wearing. And I used a black long shoe strings for the strap for the black matching sporran. Turned out pretty well. This photo was taken today 12-14-06
Dang! looks good from this side. Got a shot of the pleats
Awesome job, Joshua! Looks terrific. I love the matching shoulder plaid. It turned out well indeed. You are very blessed to have a grandmother to help out with the kilt-making.
Very nice indeed-well done to you & your grandmother
You did a great job. It's always a special thing when I am able to do things with my Grandmother, you must be proud. Brett
Great job, and I am sure it was nice to spend time with your grandmother.
Kudos to both you and your grandmother!!
Very well done, did she sew a pocket in for your IPOD?
