Just thought I'd post my first attempt at making a wool kilt. I practiced on cotton first but wool is easier to handle. The projects going better than I expected...
Photo of pleats so far. Hand stitched but not basted or pressed.

I can only say thank you to everyone who has answered my questions so far. Much of what I have read has been amazing. The stuff I have been unsure about you have helped me understand...
I have had so much enjoyment from your posts and from my first attempt it is unbelievable. Barbara T. Your book is amazing!!!!

Great job! Kilt making is like magic to me. I can't do it and am impressed by those who can.

Thank you very much... I made some mistakes but that was my fault because I deviated from the book. You'll be blown away by the detail when you receive it.
