An attempt at a modern kilt. The 'Worky'

[jkruger]

Hey everybody,
Here are a couple pics of my first attempt at a kilt using a brown canvas. I have never sewn a stitch since eighth grade (I am now 26 yo), and this was the first thing I've attempted since then. Anyway, I used the brown canvas, the two pockets hang from the top of the garment which sits at the waist. I made them hang from the top so when I wrap the top apron over it is hidden by the right pocket and the left fastener is hidden by the left hanging-from-the-waist-pocket. I used snaps to make it easier to take on and off. Usually I'd be wearing it with a belt anyway so it's not going to get ripped off, being that its not held on by straps. The pleats aren't stitched and are pretty rough looking, especially when after getting up after sitting for a bit. The canvas doesn't have much give at first. I've washed it twice since making it and its softened up a bit but is still a little stiff.

Link appears to be broken?

Edit: Does Facebook allow non-logged in viewers of albums? That may be the issue.

Many of us are not members of Facebook and therefore cannot log in.

Photobucket is much easier and accessible as your link then shows in your post as the actual picture.

There's advice on how to do it here on X Marks too!

Unfortunately you can't link pics from Facebook. Everyone else would need to have an account, and log in to see the pics. Best copy the pics to photobucket.com and them link to them.
