Made Reversible Tartan Flashes
This is a companion to the Mini-Kilt assembly in pictues.

I decided to make single flashes that wouldn't be huge on a ladies calf. I made two of each of the base colors of the kilt (blue and green). So that they would be reversible and the wearer would have more choices in hose to wear with them and the kilt. You could always double the recipe for men's flashes.

First I made 1.5 inch strips of light weight black canvas about 16" long that I attached to the 11" strips of tartan using hot fusing. You can buy the fuseable canvas but I made do.



I then used more fusing to attach the two different colored halves together.




Then you cut them and notch them.




I serged the edges of the canvas befor folding over and sewing it down. to form a loop for the elastic.


Then insert lengths of Elastic (wait for email re: calf size) and finally sew on velcro.


There you have it reversible flashes. O'Neille

Thank you for the tutorial and very good photos. Where/how do I receive the e-mail about calf width? I know from making tight trousers in the '70s to measure the fullest area of the calf. Would your instructions be the same? Cordially, Nehmah
