X-Kilt #1 started
A few days ago I started my first X-kilt since i didn't get a kilt for Christmas.
I'm using a brown twill labeled "potting soil" from Jo-Ann's and I'm just getting the hem done. had fits getting the right tension. The bobbin thread kept flipping multiple threads that got jammed under the stitch plate
. Figured the bobbin wasn't wound tight enough. Making a measuring template to mark the pleats tonight.
"The Highland dress is essentially a 'free' dress, -- that is to say, a man's taste and circumstances must alone be permitted to decide when and where and how he should wear it... I presume to dictate to no man what he shall eat or drink or wherewithal he shall be clothed." -- The Hon. Stuart Ruaidri Erskine, The Kilt & How to Wear It, 1901.
