Just Finished My First X-Kilt

I want to do another, but in a material that won't show my little sewing faux pas so much. I am thinking of another one in camo, and adding the pockets to it. Definitely learned what not to do on this, as well as a couple of short cuts that work for me.

Part of the difficulty is that the directions, while good, could have benefited from some step by step photos. I had to ask my wife to translate a few times.

Great job! How about a pic of the pleats?

I commend you on doing something that I have not been able to muster the courage to do.

Well done.

Sorry it's taken so long to do this - things just kept building up...you know, new job, etc.

Anyway, here are the pleats:

That's way better than I have ever been able to do! Good show. Makes me want to buy a used sewing machine, as I know the wife won't let me use her fancy spaff.....
