Colin, that would be Fabricville out this way. Guess I'll have to check them out as well, although I can't see their price being any better. Ya never know.
Well, put in lining last night, nicely stiffened her up. Have alot of scraps around the house, so I used a double layer of 440 count Egyptian cotton in a navy blue. I have no idea how the old-timers wore a traditional horse-hair lined kilt in hot weather! Mine, with just the several layers of cloth will be hot enough, I'd say, even in the coldest weather. Those old boys must have burned their kidneys.
Straps went on as well and I'll put the buckles on later today, along with the strap hole for the under-apron strap. Once thats all done, I'll have to see if she's still hanging straight in front and whether or not I need to do any adjustments on the first and back pleats. Then double fring the apron and voila...I hope.
Fingers crossed.
