Also was wondering if you had yet made a kilt out of hemp fabric?
I let it fray a bit on the bottom edge if I don't have a selvage. This time around cost is a major factor. After the medical bills are paid I'll be able to get better fabric.This time my plan is amake a kilt for myself and a jumper (American definition) for my wife out of the same fabric. I intend to make the skirt part of the jumper resemble a kilted shirt so I'll have to make it in 2 pieces. It'll decidedly be my own design. I haven't used hemp fabric at all, probably couldn't affford it for awhile.
