    One more x-kilt in progress. (Did I say Thanks, Alan?)
    And one hand-sewn tank in early stages.

    I've made a mess of kilts. Here they are, in order....

    1 carhardt canvas knife pleat
    1 7-yard more-or-less traditional knife pleat in MacNicol modern, heavy wool
    1 lightweight wool gray Fraser and Kirkbright 6-yard knife pleat (first kilt pleated to the sett)
    4 X-Kilt prototypes
    1 8-yard traditional knife-pleat in Dutch MacKay
    1 6-yard knife pleat (to "no stripe") X-Marks tartan
    1 4-yard box pleat in 16 oz California Modern tartan
    1 casual 3.5 yard knife pleat digicamo "quick-and-dirty"
    1 X-Kilt in Predator camouflage

    Oh and 4 tartan, knife-pleated mini-skirts

    TOTAL: 12 kilts and 4 skirts

    COMING: the way2fractious Tribute Kilt; 5-yard knife pleat knockaround in lightweight digicamo (cut it out this morning)
    An X-Kilt for *someone* it's a surprise, sort of
    an 8-yard Gray Stewart traditional knife-pleat kilt for moi
    a 4-yard Hall tartan box-pleat, also for moi

    And I'll probably make a skirt out of the 6 yards of 20-inch wide Lindsay tartan that's sitting in my study, sooner or later.

    At that point I figure I'll be done with this... 16 kilts and 5-6 skirts

    Thinking about it. I'll definitely make at least one, but I have a lot of research to do because a kilt is a work of art. I'll get there

    Made a bunch of kilts and I love it...however, making pleated mini skirts sounds like a lot more fun

    Three - one brown duck x-kilt, one grey-green tartan modified x-kilt (full apron, box pleat) and one knife pleat, also in the grey-green tartan.

    Have the material for another x-kilt and thinking about getting some of the reject x-marks tartan from Fraser and Kirkbright for another modified x-kilt.
