Any of you fortunte enough to own a kilt by Barb Tewksbury know the care she takes in making sure it is perfect, from the meticulous work she puts into every seam, stitch and pleat to the way she packs it for shipping. When I got my Gordon Modern from Kiltstore it was folded and stuffed into a shipping box. Here is what you can expect from Barb. My Macdonald of Sleat 8-yarder.
The kilt arrives in two priority mail boxes assembles end to end
It is carefully wrapped in heavy paper
You can see how carefully it is packaged
It comes with 4 - count 'em - 4 rows of basting stitches. Nothings' going to move until you want it to Check out those pleats. Perfection!
Front shot
This is my Christmas Kilt. I went shopping at Target (store colors green and red) and thought I might be mistaken for some holiday display, but folks were too busy shopping. I only got stopped once.
Maybe it's my eyes, but every pleat shot I've taken of this sett looks out of focus to me. This is the best I can do. You can tell Barb got the pleats and hip size spot on by how straight they hang, with no in-and-out waviness.
Barb is great to work with. We probably exchange 15 emails discussing the kilt. One of the things I had her try was doing the left side strap like Matt Newsome does, so there's no hole in the waist band. It's very nice, but I think for a tank I prefer the traditi0nal way.
