    Awesome Hector! Job very well done! Did you handsew or machine sew the pleats?

    That looks great! I am so inspired by what you and other guys here achieve, and in such a short time, too.

    Hector - that looks great! Fantastic job! What were the clips you used to hold the pleats in one of the earlier shots?

    They looked to me like hem clips -- see here

    I'm not saying this is the best place to buy them, just the first Google result that popped up

    They're pretty easy to find (and less expensive) at the local fabric store.

    @ meinfs: no, I don't have ths kills to hand sew that well yet, but I hope to hand sew my next kilt.

    @ aldisimo: thanks, it took a lot of pleating time but it was worth it.

    @ beedee: they are hem clips, they are about $2.50 for a bag of 6 at Hancock Fabric.
