This is the kilt I've been yammering about in the DIY forum. I made this out of 11 ounce poly/wool from Fraser and Kirkbright that I bought for the X-Skirt project. The F-H.C.A.G. has a skirt in the same tartan....so do two of the beer goddesses, and the fiddle player in my band. This was the leftovers. I had to hem the kilt, since the pieces with selvedged edges went into the X-skirts. The pleats (25 of them) are topstitched. There's an 8-inch wide bit of interfacing (instead of hair canvas) inside the over-apron for structural support. I made "belt loops" instead of "sporran loops". The over-apron is fastened with a single buckle, and the under-apron is anchored by a 2-inch bit of velcro. It's pleated to stripe, a *very* subtle dark purple/blue double-stripe inside the prevailing dark, wide, green stripe.

The kilt is a bit light-weight, but it looks pretty good, I think. I love the dark, wine-colors of the Lindsay tartan. This will be a good summertime kilt for work and out-and-about.
