NewB--In Pleat Color help please

[DRipper]

Hi, I have 2 utilikilts, and when searching for different kilts,
I saw the manual, and thought I would have a go,
I picked up some black canvas, and washed it till soft, and got some snow camo,
and wanted to have the camo on the interior of the pleats,

I started using hem tape on several sections, but im not sure if thats the best route,

Help please,

First,


Are you referring to the X-kilt manual?

[DRipper]

Yes I am referring to the xkilt manual, iPad did text correction that I didn't notice, first, can you have me, second are there more manuals that I am unaware of?

Well here is how my progress has been as of this morning,
Here is my current, Realized after I put my bartacking, and sewing the inside of the pleats, that I had not sewn to front side of them,
So....
But thats done now,

I know its a bit sloppy, but first go at it and everything,
Im looking at the pic, and Damn my camera shows everything, I love the lens, but this time I can see every errant thread,

Looks good so far! Keep at it.

Well here I am, I had the kilt held about 2" higher on one side, after hitting the self timer,
So I believe that is the explanation for the tilt,


Damn all those threads,


Looks like I miight need to put in a additional pleat,
But Dunno at the moment,
Havent secured the over strip, on the inside or outside,


Any opinions?
or Constructive criticism,
I know I need it,

[DRipper]

So far, Need to tack the top on, and the pockets,
C&C please

I think that's going to be very attractive.

Nice job on the top-stitching! that is finicky work. Several of us here learned machine sewing on the X-kilt; but I was not brave enough to attempt contrasting panels!
