When I responded to Matt's thread about "Raising expectations," I mentioned that I had a kilt to finish. Well I finished it (thanks Matt!). I started this over 2 years ago. Right before I moved. I found it (and the rest of my sewing supplies) a few weeks ago (we are combining 2 households which means lots of boxes lots of stuff to get rid of and lots of stuff to find). The hope was to create a knock about kilt that was machine washable and had a kind of "Jeans" look. The front panels and the waist have a contrasting red stitch around it. Parachute closures hold it together. Before moving I used a community laundry room that I always suspected didn't really wash cloths in hot water. After finishing it I washed it in hot water, and it shrank a bit (not much but enough that I need to loose about an off my waist before its really comfortable. It also requires a good bit of ironing. But being white, it should be good for work because I can bleach out stains etc. It has belt loops, although not pictured with a belt so I can show off the workmanship. Overall not a total success, but fun....
And now the required pictures.
