Hand-sewn "MacWerner Watch"

[Carolina Kiltman]

You'll discover something soon. When the kilt is in your hands, you see every single imperfection in glaring detail. When the kilt is round your mans rumpus, at least 90% of those imperfections magically disappear.

This is not an excuse to do a bad job, it's just a little dose of reality. Do the best job you can, but don't stress if it's not PERFECT.

good advice. As a designer of a different sort, I can assure you that I saw every little flaw in glaring detail just before the public saw it. Then, after a good night's sleep, a square meal and some single malt (not necessarily in that order) I would sit in the back on opening night. The curtain would go up and I would generally say to myself "damn, that looks Good!

Thank you both for the reality check I expect this one to be yards ahead (so to speak) of my first effort, and I expect my third one to be even better! And Bob will wear them all, and like them

Lots of progress since I last posted (hey, work or post, take your pick!).

I tried to photo the basted pleats, but the shots all came out looking even more crooked than the pleats are in reality. So you'll just have to wait for the live, in person pleat shot!

Here is the lovely fringe and the beautifully matched, hand-sewn waistband. And more basting than I do at Thanksgiving!
