    My very own Kilt apron!!!

    Well, as a gift for Christmas and Valentine's day my Mother-in-law made me my very own Kilt apron for when I am doing woodworking!!!
    It's a bright red canvas duck and it is fantastic.

    The front has a convenient pocket and it actually has a fold out part so you can make it even longer, covering over the ribs if need be.
    She's considering making some for sale. I'd buy it, but I DON'T HAVE TO!
    Oooh, I'm happy.
    Here are a few pictures of it.

    Well that's fantastic. Great for the workshoppe or the trenches (were it not for the colour)! Tell your mother-in-law to rock on.

    It looks wonderful, and of course even more wonderful because she made it for you

    Very nice pictures Arlen, congratulations on the apron.

    Lucky you Arlen!

    I think it's a BRILLIANT idea that would be very useful indeed especially for the constantly kilted among us.
