My first home made

[Robert Lamb]

I still need to add the velcro for fastners but I guess it is ready to wear.
I made some(under statement) mistakes but it is done.
I chose this material because it was cheap and simple to pleat..
It is light weight and wrinkles some what but for around home and the such it is what I was looking for.
this is the pleat side

this is the apron side

Looking good! Don't worry about the mistakes - they're just learning moments in disguise. Your next kilt will be so much the better for it/them. (I just sewed one pleat seam six times before it looked right.)

I purchased 5 meters of the light grey tartan from Fraser & Krikbright.
It is a nice looking trartan and I a now trying figure the best way to pleat it.
The setts are 5'' sq with a single red stripe and I am trying to get it into each pleat.
It is also light weight but should be a fun kilt to wear when complete.
I may even purchase some buckles and belts and do it up right.
