Grrrr! A frustrating choice
I purchased an extra yard of fabric, intending to make a matching waistcoat for the kilt that I ordered. As it turns out, the fabric cannot be matched to the front apron of the kilt! Grrrr!
I've turned both sides of the fabric [it's asymmetric in both directions] every which way more than a few times, but either the sequence of stripes matches and the twill runs at right angles, or the twill matches and the stripes are reversed. Grrrr!
Since the tartan is the most obvious aspect of the fabric, I've got to match it and ignore the weave; however, the inconsistency is killing me. It's also possible that the light can make the two pieces appear different because of the weave.
Since this is a family-friendly forum, I'm just gonna say "Grrrr!" again ...
