My first kilt

Alright, hear it is, my first Xkilt. I made a few mistakes, but it came out good over all. That raw edge at the bottom was secured with some fray stopping glue, which works great. I had to cut it, because when I was done it was shorter on one side than the other.











And yes, I do hike up the apron more so it hangs right.

Nice job on the first kilt. It will also be one of your favourites, as it is the first.

Good work! Now that you've done it once, the next time around should be a breeze.
