A Kilt for Mrs. Eujeankilt

[Eujeankilt]

It's been a busy summer. I didn't even know you guys were passing through until you passed by. Next time!

What a wonderful kilt!

Sorry we didn't get to visit with you on our recent trip up the coast, but you were obviously busy making this great kilt!

Be well,

That's a fine looking kilted skirt, and a fine looking lass. I plan on trying my hand at making some x-kilts as soon as I manage to pick up a good used sewing machine - I only hope that mine look half as good as the work that you've done.

Do those cargo pockets remove leaving just the flap behind on the kilt?

Practice, practice, practice.

The pockets are sewn on. I'm still working out my pocket skills and designs.

Lovely job! And a very nice fit. She looks great in it too.

BTW, there's a great product on the market you can get at quilting stores that you can use to mark your fabric. The marks disappear with cold water.

I've personally used the Fine Line Marker for cotton twill and blends, it's the bee's knees. The marks never come back. I wish I could say the same about the Mark-B-Gone fading marker. The marks will fade but sometimes come back.

Anyway, grats on your anniversary.

Thanks for the tip!

Nicely measured! I like the way the sewn down part of the pleat create a form fit without hugging or creeping as the ladies say. Well Done!

Btw, would this be a "Skilt"?

It's made like a kilt, except it closes on the left and is an inch or two below the knees. I suppose it's better called a kilted skirt.
