The sewing machine

[James MacMillan]

Awwwwww. Come on dad its Christmas break! I work 3rd shift so I am about 4 hours away from being in bed. I'm not worried too much about the sewing machine, I will get it working. Now I just have to pick out fabric for my X-Kilt. I am thinking about taking apart my gold brothers kilt and re-using the fabric there. . .any thoughts on how that would work out?

I did that once with a really cheaply made kilt. Took it all apart, steamed and pressed the fabric, and then had it made (not by me) into a casual kilt, flashes, tie and a vest. I think I was in Okinawa at the time. Good fabric should never be wasted.

The disassembly on the gold brothers kilt looks like it may be more involved and more trouble than it is worth just for me to make an x-kilt out of. . . the duck cloth at wally world is looking like an easier option. I am afraid that I will mess up the kilt so bad that it will no longer be anything kilt like. Maybe for my second project the gold bro's kilt will be reborn as a box pleat.
