For the dye. Try something like Tie dye. There's lots of different ways to get strange patterns by folding, crunching and bunching. Practice on old t-shirts first.
Hrm...I thought it looked a bit different than what others I've seen...however, the measurements seem to have fallen into line as it fits very well. As you can see, I have no ***...just hips.

The method was simple enough, draw on fabric, iron it, job done. They might be useful.

They were called Fabric Crayons, and I got mine in a large toy shop, if that helps in tracking them down.

Thanks for the tip!

LOL...problem is, the paint is white fill so it won't really do anything.

Well, I kind of did that on purpose...
I multi-layer when I play to combat the cold but also, I'll be wearing a webbed belt at the waist. The flap will be secured inside the belt line.

Thanks. I think it looks pretty good for a very first Kilt and especially since it's hand-sewn.
