The XMTS poly-vis KILT!
It is finished!

Blue fingers, blue sewing machine, blue steam iron. Beware! (or wash the fabric before you begin)

But it was wonderful to work with!

The wide waist band (2 inches) is partly hidden under the belt, so it looks much better than I expected after cutting the finished length to short.

Thanks to my wife for taking over the whole household on my last two free days!
And thanks again to the Wizard for all the work he put into ordering and shipping the fabric!

Nicely done Herminator!!!!

There are so many very talented people in this group. Maybe someday my talent seeds will sprout and I'll have the time and talent to create a piece of art too!

Cheers,

Marshal Moroni
