Just made my first X-Kilt
Well okay, I took the basic idea/design/concept of the X-Kilt, but sort of just winged it when I actually went to make it.. so who knows how close it is to a properly designed X-Kilt.
I did learn a few things though, and made quite a few mistakes. First off, dont buy the $2 /yard poly/cotton blend from walmart, that's what I made it out of, figured for a trial run it wouldn't work out to bad, but its really thin, and if there is light behind it.. you can see straight through, even 2-3 layers of the material, not what I consider ideal for public wear. Also I figured out a few things, first I really need to figure out how to measure better, because my over apron and under apron, don't fully sit over-top of each other.
But for a trail run, it was not a bad go, I will probably work on some changes to how I do it on the next run after I find better materials. I am designing it to be worn with my football jersey's to show team support, I plan on adding a Dallas Cowboys Star patch to the over apron, at least on the next run of making it.
