My first (successful) homemade kilt

[NeightRG]

Quite an achievement... and to have the first kilt come out so well... very impressed!

Well, there's a reason I titled the post as "First successful kilt"
Before this one, I had a couple of attempts that I deemed unsuccessful for various reasons.

Looks good...been thinking about making my first one out of a wool military blanket...

I've seen heavy wool military blankets in the thrift stores and thought about it a bit. Don't know if they'd be too heavy. If you go for it, I'd love to see the results.

Congratulations! That is a fine, fine kilt. It looks splendid to my eye. You must not be too critical of your work--I tend to be very critical of my own--you have worked through whatever obstacles or imperfections occurred, and had to make a compromise here or there because some things didn't go exactly the way you wanted--you know all of the "flaws" or compromises that took place, and sometimes that can blind you to the quality of what you have produced.

I assure you that we don't see those flaws that you can't help focus on, our eye reads "Kilt", and nothing less. A well made kilt that fits exactly is what we see.

I predict that you will have many years of kilted enjoyment ahead. Cheers!
