    first double-box-pleat - nearing the finish

    I'm getting closer, to finishing my latest: a double-box-pleat ( pleated to the sett) kilt, made of PV, from Fabricland, in Newfoundland tartan:

    an "overview shot":

    - "just" have to cut out the extra material, in the fell, sew-in the stabilizer & hair canvas, finish the apron ends and press.
    A pleat shot:

    and a final photo, showing some of the 'yet-to-be sewn-kilts' :
    waulk softly and carry a big schtick

    Nice. Are you going to sew in the pleat creases?

    Once it's done, I'll get pics as soon as possible (just don't hold your breath).
