Welp. finally starting on a project i've put off for too long. I'm going to attempt to turn 4 pairs of old jeans into 1 acceptable Kilt. I'm not sure it'll come out great, or even acceptable; but I'll be damned if I'm not gonna give it the ol' college try. I've scoured the web, and a few posts here in xmarks, and I think I can manage to make it at least an acceptable casual/everyday wear one. two pairs of the jeans are the same shade, the other two are almost the same shad as each other, but far lighter than the first two. So i'll have to use a few tricks and a bucket of creativity but I've got some ideas and it might..MIGHT jsut turn out interesting, origional and wearable. I'm posting on here cause 1.) I have trouble staying motivated, but if people are expecting updates, it helps me stay on track and 2.) in case i hit a snag and need advice; or if anyone has done this and has any random tidbits of advice.
I'll try to remember to add pictures whenever I reach various stages. So here's the first picture:

I'm starting by removing pockets/belt loops, etc to leave nothing but denim material. These are the foru pairs of jeans (and my dog Misty who wants to "help").

So..here it goes. wish me luck *turns on music to jam to for what will probably be all night long stitch-removal*
