I forgot to sew the apron fold to the apron... my pleats were too big and it never fit, too big... the interfacing I got was too light, didn't find out until after I finished my 5th kilt... White wasn't a good color for the lining... found some of my stitches for the lining and steaking were showing thru the kilt...
And that was just my first kilt!
Walley - you sure learned enough for my kilts, as I haven't found anything that I would consider a mistake!!!! I still love both of them!!!
