    Pleats cut, stabilizer and canvas stitched on, underapron and apron edges finished (I finished the apron with a plain edge, as denim fringe looks unsightly, like a ripped pair of jeans) belt-hole reinforced. Feels like the home stretch coming up! Top edge, pressing, buckles, straps and lining to go.

    If you wanted, you could always make a fringe out of a piece of different fabric, for contrast. Like this - http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...an-kilt-73085/
    Otherwise, denim being a warp-faced fabric, using fabric from a perpendicular cut of denim should provide a fringe of the same colour as the rest of the kilt.
