I'm making kilts!

[Sunflash]

Well I finished making kilt number four yesterday afternoon. Here are some shots of it while I'm moving some funiture for a friend of a friend. This perticular one is not completely finished as it is still lacking some of the heraldry touches that it is about to get. I will also lay out some of the others so that I can take some detail shots for you guys as requested. Oh and it was a big hit in my mind walking around the fair in it for the demo. Lots of stares and a few compliments.

He signs up and ships off to Iraq!
He moves furniture and boxes while wearing white!

Man, I gotta admire your bravery!

Here you are seeing some more of the details of my "concert kilt":

Here is the close up of the "Celtic tribal dragon" that inhabits the pleats of the concert kilt.



Notice the metal and patch version of the Nautical Star (I Have a pair tattooed on my chest)

Here are some more shots of the Barrony kilt I did to wear in support of my SCA group:







And here is where I made the last two kilts ( my tiny shared one bedroom apartment)


By the way it is always a blast to go out to the movies in my kilts. Tonight was the Black and white SCA kilt with the fresh heraldry markings and belt loops and belt. I hope these were the details you all wanted to see. please let me know if there is anything else you guys wanted to know or see.

Sunflash, I am speechless! What a talent you have. After getting on for 60 years of kilt wearing, I still cannot put one together - Heaven knows I have tried (but not recently!). You must surely have had previous experience of tailoring and/or sewing?

I love the two-tone effect (but rather a lot depends upon the combination of colours/fabrics selected), and was dithering over the colours I wanted to order from Jeff at Pittsbugh Kilts, when he announced he was giving up for a while. Your black and white kilt is stunning, although I would have slight personal reservations about the quartered apron, and I am afraid the appliquéd patches and design work don't really do it for me. Nevertheless, you have my fullest admiration and I look forward to seeing your future creations. Well done, my friend!
