So, I needed to make flashes for Sinbad's X-Marks tartan kilt, and decided, what better to do than painstakingly photograph every part of the process...yes, I am anal retentive

Part I: Some examples of flashes

I think there was a thread already on making basic grosgrain ribbon flashes, like these



But, when Panache got his Matt Newsome kilt, it came with all the scraps and I made some flashes to match. These are just sewn onto a piece of elastic, then velcro is sewn onto the ends. Rather crude, but then nothing shows under the kilt hose anyway.



These are Stillwater flashes-they have a stiffener (iron on fabric) and they wrap around the elastic.



And they are sewn together so they do not slide apart on the vecro



These are also Stillwaters, but they are not sewn together



More to come...

Be well,
