    Off topic - Grant, don't go there.
    On topic - my cat does something similar. Whenever I'm busy, and can't give attention, that's when she demands it. Better a dog, to sit on your feet while you're working.

    Just out of curiosity - is the apron a straight-line "A" shape? I don't see an "S" curve to it.

    Good luck, hope you do get some time here and there to work on it in the near future.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    Update!!

    I am almost at the finish line!! I just put the waistband on last night. It looks great, I can't wait to strap it on. Actually, I’m waiting for the L&M straps I ordered from SWK to come. I would post pics but a) I am at work and b) I still have not quite mastered my new camera and how to make my pictures look right. Hopefully I will be able to finish it this long weekend!
    I will post pics when I am finished, no matter what the quality!

    Sorry cuz! It's almost finished. I just have to press it one more time!! I have been very busy lately and I have had to send my new computer back to the shop. (Yes it was only 20 days old but came with a faulty part, but it's in getting repaired!)
    I have one rather cruddy pic if you would like to see:

    This was the kilt before basting.
    I'll post more when I get my computer back.
    Now I must get to work before the boss sees me!

    Smile Finished!!!!!

    I finished my kilt!!! I just have to add a tag to the inside, but here it is:
    Front


    Back

    (the pleats are a little out of sorts due to the way it is sitting on the chair!)

    Sorry I am still getting use to my camera. The tartan is a little darker, the lighting is washing it out a bit!

    I think the pleats look wonderful.
