An X-Kilt for Panache

[Alan H]

Another hour and a half...I busted a needle and had to try two more to find one that would work. This material is pretty tough and putting folded-over belt-loop ends onto about 8 layers of cloth and bar-tacking them down onto the waistband...well.... So I had to move the belt loops down a bit, off of the waistband. Not a big deal. ANYWAY, belt loops on, buttonhole for the left hand corner of the under-apron is in, and the button sewn on. I hand-reinforced the velcro in one odd location...bit of an experiment.

I did this one FAST 'cause I'm pressed for time. It's a nice, sturdy, wearable kilt but some of the stitching could be a bit straighter! Probably nobody but me will notice....well, and the F-H.A.A.G. who freely admits to being obsessive compulsive and will likely put the thing under a microscope! Remember, this is supoosed to be a QUICK AND EASY kilt to sew!

I've finally decided for sure. I'm not ever gonna bother to sew the INSIDE folds of the box pleats.

I just have to wash it to get out the chalk marks, and press it up again for a final go and it's ready.

Has she gone back to her maiden name or has she added 'Alcholic' to her title?

Has she gone back to her maiden name or has she added 'Alcholic' to her title?

Oh, you are SO going to get busted for that....

[The F-H.C.A.G.]

I'm baaaaack!

Has she gone back to her maiden name or has she added 'Alcholic' to her title?

You really need to think before you post, Grant! That's Flame-Haired Awesome Amazon BLOODTHIRSTY Goddess to you! Besides, I never did change my maiden name.

Oh, you are SO going to get busted for that....

Thank you Alan!

Grant....have you considered the symbolism of the rubber chicken?

Be well,
