friends don't let friends make corduroy kilts...

The thought of a cat sharpening its claws on a bolt of Locharron wool just sends shivers down my spine.

I guess I'm just an incurable dog person...

Dear God!

But having at home lovely dog which is jumping all over the place and all over you when showing how happy she is, I don't think this is much different.

The dog ate my kilt homework...

Sewing that hem sounds like quite a task... Or are you going to machine sew it?

No. I folded it, and put in long basting stiches, about 2 to the inch, a little more right at the edges of the pleats. That took a couple hours (though i did it while watching TV, so less time than that), then I sewed it down with the machine (which took five minutes....), and ripped out the basting.

It turned out pretty well. I wore it out last night, but didn't take any pictures. I'll take some tomorrow. I've left instructions to hit me if I think about doing another anytime soon.

Ya, I have to hand sew everything... And on top of that, I am extremely slow about it.

Glad it came out well; I've enjoyed the thread.
