Wow, what pleasure it will be to wear a kilt you made yourself!

Thanks for posting this detailed step by step process. I find it very inspiring! I made a X-Kilt and love it, but this now has me thinking of something a bit more ambitious.

This was a mistake photo with the timer function, but you can see there is some swish.

Nice work. The pleats make a nice contrast in the swish. Congratulations on your new addition to the kollection, and thanks for sharing it with us.
BB, if you can make such a great sporran out of leather, just imagine how easy it is to push a needle through fabric instead.
