DIY - MacDonald Box Pleat Kilt

**sirdaniel1975** · 15th July 11, 03:02 PM

It's been a couple of years since I made myself a kilt, with the 2 yards double width 13 oz fabric on the shelf from the STM at $115.... hard to pass up.

with the exception of the buckles,I made the fastening from scratch too

this is my inner canvas work, this is how I like it

I use a green lining and all the fastening is complete

Good job! I'm impressed.

It may have been a few years but it looks to me as if you still have the goods. Nice job!

Absolutely first rate! If covetousness weren't a sin, I'd really covet!

Wow. Holy $#!+!!!

To my eye, this one may have come out even better than the other one of yours that I've seen, and it was really excelent! I mean, the hang looks pristine, lines in the back are nice and straight, fit is obviously right on, etc, etc... Impressed doesn't cut it.

...you just got me thinking. A dangerous thing, to be sure.

P.S. I love the blackout look. It's certainly one of my own favorites, too.
