An X-Kilt over spring break (aka "Project Cheapskate")

[meinfs]

Project cheapskate is back on.

I didn't get a chance to finish the kilt over spring break, and I've been terribly busy since, but last night I finally bartacked the pleats. Over the weekend I will be sewing in the inner pleat folds, and doing the taper, and hopefully I'll have the rest done early next week.

Good luck with the denim project. I used denim as well but followed a hand sewn traditional design instead. Check out my post on here.

Oh and this may be late but I would highly recommend 100% polyester thread (high quality) instead of dual duty -- especially! for denim. Dual-duty leaves fuzzy cotton threads on the stitching and because denim is a rather dense weave, running the dual-duty through it may cause the thread to get stripped (more of a problem in hand sewn stitches than machine-sewd albeit).
