    New DIY flashes

    Loving to tinker with things I practiced some search fu and found some wonderful instructions for making flashes. So after some reading and on necessity of having to stay up all night I made four sets.
    I saw several attached with velcro so, armed with the tutorials here and time here's what i was able to come up with.

    1x3/4ing elastic, velcro, and woven cotton ribbon from JoAnns. Got the idea for the tasselled ends from Tyger's old post here http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...flashes-52559/
    I made one set of garters and the flashes are changeable.

    I made four sets for some variety. I'll be heading back for some other colors. I like the rustic, simple, un-dress look.

    "The Highland dress is essentially a 'free' dress, -- that is to say, a man's taste and circumstances must alone be permitted to decide when and where and how he should wear it... I presume to dictate to no man what he shall eat or drink or wherewithal he shall be clothed." -- The Hon. Stuart Ruaidri Erskine, The Kilt & How to Wear It, 1901.
