...and not drinking any whisky while I sew.

Like, *duh*

Now there's your first mistake. You showed F-H.C.A.G. how to make an X-Kilt, now learn from her and get sloshed before making the damn kilt. The pleats will look fine .



Dee, if you could see me now, you would see that I am ever so gently shaking my head from side to side.

Krispy Kilties?

[ChattanCat]

The fell is 8 inches. All the other pleats have lined up acceptably...not PERFECTLY, but quite acceptably. This one refuses. How can two stripes in a pleat be lines up just fine, but the one that's higher up be a full 1/4 inch off?

*snarl*

No biggie. I only have to hand-sew maybe all of about 9 inches of pleats. Not a big deal. But I reserve the right to be annoyed about it.

I would guess that you are not keeping the material taught enough. Since the wool stretches... not sure but it may be the issue.

But the crispy skin after roasting is worth the extra effort!

Panache joins Dee under the chair

Should I baste just the pleats - or the whole kilt and the wearer of it? It's getting close to fitting time...
