Hi,
after finishing my first kilt, the black working kilt with the orange flare, I decided that I'm prepared for a tartan. I found a mainly orange polyester material - about 11 oz light and perfect for the summer and dancing and a little asymetrical …
The black kilt was machine sewd. This time everything is hand sewd. It's not perfect but not that bad that I won't wear it. The pleating is to the set. I will make a second one for my bagpipe apprentice and will pleat it to the stripe.
Here are some pictures. It is now pressed and tomorrow I will go on following TAoK for the belt loops, straps and buckels and lining.

First of 29 pleats

I will continue here when it's cooled down and I put on the straps and lining.
