My new kilt in progress

Ok, buckles attached, now to start on the straps tomorrow.

Im going to attempt to make straps for my kilt out of an old "leather" dinner table place mat. Will post pics if it works out.

Here is the kilt with the "leather" straps and buckles I finished today.

Very impressive work! I love how you are using "scrounged" material too, rather than taking the easy way out and ordering pre-made straps. Super-cool use of materials and it looks great!

All right! I should have my kilt done by tomorrow! I will post pics of it after it is done.

Here it is!





In this picture... I don't know why the pleats are wavy like that. I followed all the instructions in Barb T.'s book. I think it might be the material that I used to make it.


It was a great experience and I'm looking forward to making another when I have the time

Wow... Your progress between kilt 1 and kilt 2 is incredible.
Definitely has me inspired to step it up - I know I slack on the basting, proper lining materials, and some other details, but it looks like you followed the book down to the letter.
Awesome job.
