My son's wedding kilt--

[Beth F]

Hi, I got great advice here as a newbie, and then dropped off the boards so I could actually spend my time making a kilt (and do all the baking for the wedding reception--an afternoon tea).

So here it is! Thanks to Barbara Tewksbury and Elsie Stuehmeyer's The Art of Kiltmaking, and especially the box pleating supplement.

Basic information: Ross Ancient Hunting Tartan (a family tartan); a 16 inch sett, 8 box pleats, hidden pleats on both sides (this is as skinny as he will ever be again). Hand sewn, traditional box pleated kilt.

I'm proud of the kilt, but more proud of my son.
