I'm not sure if it's just this kilt, or I've just "been there, done that", now.

I'm working (very slowly) on a Hall Tartan box pleat. Now, if anything could go wrong with this kilt, it has gone wrong. I finished stitching up the box pleat tapers, today. Unfortunately, I set them up such that there's a red stripe down the edge of each box pleat, all the way from the bottom of the fell to the bottom of the hem. Because of how the thing sets up, that red line tapers out and disappears in the tapering of each box pleat, from the bottom of the fell to the waist.

To do this RIGHT, would mean stitching each seam so that the red line disappears at exactly the same point, in each taper. Believe me, it's not working out that way.

It would take hours and hours to do this perfectly. I just don't want to. I don't have the patience, I want this thing DONE. However, two years ago I would have taken the time to hand-sew it perfectly. I won't do that now.

Is it just this kilt, or is it time to move on to other things? Hmmmm.....

I still owe Bethany her kilt, and Piper George his Dutch Mackay, and I suspect that I'm going to be doing my own Ancient MacNaughton 8 yard...*sigh*
