    So, I sewed



    And, I sewed



    And, I sewed



    While Panache kept me in tasty beverages to cut the boredom.

    Eventually, I began to get desperate



    Even to the point of unmixed Drambuie



    Just kidding! Realize that this was photographed over a nearly 2 week period. If I'd actually consumed all of these tasty beverages in one evening, I don't think it would have turned out as well.

    Final pics to follow...

    No I realize that the last four pictures with four different drinks you were wearing the same outfit. Ergo this was from the same sitting. So the question remains how did you keep the bloody hem straight after all of that imbibing ?

    Oh nice work by the way.

    The lovely Flame-Haired Celtic Amazon Goddess is a wonder. Not only does she support me in my whole kilt thing she actively helps me out. I am a very lucky fellow. It took her a few evenings but she was able to hem my Stillwater Heavyweight to the right length. If you have the time and initiative it makes a lot of sense to take in a SWK Heavyweight if their standard length is too long for you. You wind up with a great kilt and the hem is pretty hard to notice.

    If anyone was interested, here is a before picture:



    And here is the after picture (without me listing to the side):




    Cheers
