My new outfit

I dont' have any pics of the pleats with me wearing it, but here it is on the table...
Pleating done to the stripe.


You know you got it bad when the material starts stacking up faster than you can sew it up

Nice pleating job!

I know what you mean about accumulating fabric. I have a number of female friends who have a term for this, that I won't share on a family-friendly board, but I constantly have to restrain myself in order to not join their ranks!

Don't feel bad, I'm going to cut out my X Makrs tartan today,and I've had it for a YEAR!

I know the term... and it can be censored to "fabric-aholic." I've been dubbed a "garb-aholic" in Rennie circles. The wife and I make pretty much all our garb.

Fine work - I'm envious of your skill.

It looks like the sporran in the picture is somehow suspended from above, rather than on a sporran chain/belt. How are you wearing it?

Best regards

I think they are called sporran suspenders. They are just leather straps that fasten with a snap and they support the sporran from the belt. I like the look of the chain, but these are very fast to put on and they sure save a lot of wear and tear on the kilt. I picked them up at a Scottish festival for just $5 USD. I have seen them online somewhere though.
