First pic of the kilt in the wild ;-)
Unfortunately it began to rain. A lot! Mr. wet shirt contest. But the kilt still swings

The kilt looks great, you are a talented fellow. Nice dog, too.

Very nice work! I like this photo. I also will have to try the tip with the spearmint oil; I find that the wool fabrics I use for my 18th C. costumes can be difficult to iron and get a fold to stay.

I'm already working on #3 - the second part of the orange cloth. It is for my bagpipe student and I think we will look good together on the next music and dance festival this summer. This time it's pleated to the dark stripe:

Number 3 is done! My bagpipe student tried it on yesterday, I replaced the third buckle a bit and then sewed in the lining. Next week we will go to a folk festival and swing our kilts there to the music of french bagpipes, accordion, fiddle, harp and so on. There will be pictures for shure :-)
