    Pleated to the dot at London Pride 2009

    Something new.... and just right for the day. A 5 yard(ish) heavy printed cotton machine sewn kilt.
    Lots of favourable comments, and it was lovely and comfortable on the hot day

    Pleated to the dot... I'm surprised no one has come up with dandelion printed fabric and made a kilt with it yet.

    Glad all went well.

    That is so wild! It's neat how you got the dots to split and rejoin down the middle like that. With the sort of random colors of the dots, the pattern becomes more interesting. I found myself looking to see if any two were the same (they are, of course, but it doesn't look that way at first). I always enjoy seeing your original ideas.

    Regards,
    Rex.
