So, I took my first try.. and just stepped it up a notch. I decided I wanted to do reverse kingussie pleats.
That's the front, note it looks primarily blue from the front, and notice the Star on the bottom corner of the over apron.
That's the back of the kilt, I have not had the chance to do the final ironing on it, so its not completely crisp, I just finished stitching everything.
This is a close up of the inserts, took a lot of work, but I think it turned out great.

This shows the pockets that I have added, they are similar to 'pants' pockets, they are not the biggest.. but they hold my cell phone and a money clip with my ID and some money, so its got some storage, I felt it would do more for me, especially with the inserts then cargo pockets would. The pockets are made out of the same material the inserts are made of.
Well compared to my first try at a modern kilt... its.. a big step, but that's just how I do it, if I am going to do it, I am going to do it big, lol.
Let me know what everyone thinks, I am planning on making more closer to the X-kilt design, with box pleats, because 21 pleat inserts, where a little to much, so I think the 10-12 box pleats will be less work. I still plan on doing the pockets like they are in this one.
