    My Birthday Suit

    So, for my birthday last month, my wife got me 8 yards of Isle of Sky. All I had to do was find time to mold the material into a kilt. So here it is, with my modified dongle tweed jacket:


    There was a little breeze but the kilt pin held the apron edge down quite well.

    Wallace,
    The kilt looks excellent, and the pleating appears great. Nice work.
