No Joke!! I remember commenting on your first kilt that you made following those online Youtube instructions. Your work here is impressive, to say the least!! You deserve to have that smile on your face. What a great kilt. Congrats!!!!

As a side note, this is yet more kudos to my good friend Barb T. for producing a manual that enables people (myself included) to learn such a complex and difficult skill. There is a legitimate reason why kilts are so costly...

Again, bravo and congrats!!

Do you ever take it off of any sweet jumps?

Nice job for sure.

Outstanding! I really gotta get that book! Your sisters are gonna freak when they finally get theirs.

Now, about those shoes........

Great job, and stay with it.

Always, - Steve

lol yeah, I don't have any kilt worthy shoes (other than Army Desert Combat Boots) or kilt hose yet. But I do plan on at least buying some kilt hose soon. On the upside though... The toe shoes are increadibly comfortable ;)

I'm wearing it to my sisters' Basic Combat Training graduation tomorrow and I am soooo excited! They wanted me to wear it so that they could finally see what I have been working on for the past 3 weeks. I'll be posting pics

Congratulations...excellent work. Be careful, though...if you take up the task of making so many kilts for friends and relatives, you'll never have the time to make more for yourself.

...and with the right kilt hose, I think that desert boots might look pretty neat!

Best

Thanks, my friend! When it works for people, I am the happiest of clams.

Wow sums it up well. Particularly thinking of the pleat shot, impressive work.

You should be very, very proud - it came out beautifully!

All right! I said I would post pictures of me at my sisters' Basic Combat Training Graduation, so here are some!

This is the mural drawn onto the wall that you first see when you walk into the female D. Company barracks (pretty bad a**)

This is the family during our visit (I'm the one in the proud army sister shirt)

This is our epic super triplet fist-bump!

And finaly me in my kilt with my triplet sisters

(i was wearing a more formal kilt outfit during the graduation ceremony, but no pics were taken of me with them in that because they had to leave for their barracks right after the ceremony so they could sign out for the day) I had also done a lot of sitting and standing throughout the day so the pleats looked nice and wrinkled by this time, good thing you can't see them ;)

I'll probably start a different post in the misc forum to show off my sisters
