My first kilt is coming along well so far. I have the pleating all finished and it looks pretty good. Next time I think I'll make narrower pleats though. I'll start on the waistband tomorrow then the straps and buckles. Thanks to everyone that made suggestions and comments, it all made it much easier and the results show it. All you kiltmakers don't have to worry about me competeing with you. I don't think I'd care to try it for a living
