My "HotWheels" Kilt - not quite done though

[druid]

It's finished! Scroll down for the pictures


Here's the "almost finished" pics of my "HotWheels" Kilt I'm sewing (by hand.....no machine for me to use).

It has 7 pleats int the "X-Kilt" fashion but unlike the white one I made, the pleats come together at the waist. Whip-stitching them is a pain in the butt and right now, they look like crap (IMO) but I will go over them again to clean them up. I'll get that done sometime this week end. Also, I did not sew in these pleats this time.

I made the inner and outer aprons double-thick (2 layers) because the material is kind of thin - and since the material's selvedge is a white border, I cut that off and folded over the material to make a hem...and then used that iron-on seam tape to seal the edge.

All that I have to do is cut out and sew on the waistband along the top edge and sew the aprons down (where they meet the pleats).
