X-Kilt - My First Attempt has Begun...

[MinusHD]

After much consideration and deliberation I have started work on my first X-Kilt. I've never sewn before, so this is completely new to me. One setback is that even though I was able to find my mother's old sewing machine, and it still runs, it appears to be missing a few key parts... Heck it's from the 50's or 60's. I believe I'll be able to get a more modern machine on loan, so hopefully I'll be able to get it done. In the meantime I'll be doing what little cutting, measuring and chalking I can do to prepare for when I can start sewing.

The fabric is "Sew Classic Bottomweight Canvas Target Solid Fabric" (65% poly, 35% cotton) in the "Cornstalk" color I got for 40% off at Joann's fabric store. I figured I'd go cheap for this initial experiment. It's not all that thick, and not as soft as twill. We'll see what happens.

It's a start... And this won't be a quick turnaround, but I'll update this thread as I work my way through it. It's going to be very basic.
