    Crazy Quilt Kilt

    This is my new kilt I have sewn. The material is a double sided coating wool. This is kilt #4 and I have convised my self I am getting better. It may be a butt ugly kilt but it will be a nice warm kilt.
    This side is the plaid side.

    This is the back side and I still have the other side and I might make a maroon kilt.

    I don't think I have ever seen a reversible kilt, where the fabric was a double layer. You have made a lined kilt?

    You describe it as "double sided coating wool". Does that mean that the fabric is lined? Or is it coated? Or is it wool designed for coats.

    What-ever the further information reveals, I like it. I, don't think however, that I would wear the maroon side out. I know that they sell denim that has a flannel like fabric attached, and I remember wearing jeans like that as a kid.

    Neat kilt.

    Well James this where I Purchased the material http://www.fashionfabricsclub.com
    They said the material was for sutable for coats, and I do have jacket made of wool like this stuff. It is not finished yet, no fastners or lining on waist band.
    I tried to design a reversable kilt but I just didn't work out correct, so I can either make another kilt or a blanket from the remainder. A maroon kilt might have some use in life.

    About the fabric, just for the record

    IT IS MAROON!

    I have no idea why the fabric looks pink in the pictures, it isn't!
    Maybe it was a maroonish pink.

    Looks like this has great potential, either as a tartan kilt or as a maroon kilt.
