Does this count??

Good job. The only comment I would make is that the pleats should not have the gap between them from the fell to the waistline. Looks a little odd and also throws off measurements.

True, but I kinda like this look. It is unique and visually pleasing.

For the dye. Try something like Tie dye. There's lots of different ways to get strange patterns by folding, crunching and bunching. Practice on old t-shirts first.

Hrm...I thought it looked a bit different than what others I've seen...however, the measurements seem to have fallen into line as it fits very well. As you can see, I have no ***...just hips.

I don't know if they are available where you are, but at one time there were crayons for dyeing fabric - intended for tee shirts.

The method was simple enough, draw on fabric, iron it, job done. They might be useful.

They were called Fabric Crayons, and I got mine in a large toy shop, if that helps in tracking them down.

Thanks for the tip!

Or just wait for the paintball field to do the coloring.

LOL...problem is, the paint is white fill so it won't really do anything.

Might want to sew the velcro from the over apron closer to the edge so you don't get the "flap" of the outer apron. Especially while running around playing paintball, you don't want to have a loose flapping edge to catch on something and rip off your entire kilt!

Well, I kind of did that on purpose...
I multi-layer when I play to combat the cold but also, I'll be wearing a webbed belt at the waist. The flap will be secured inside the belt line.

True, but I kinda like this look. It is unique and visually pleasing.

Thanks. I think it looks pretty good for a very first Kilt and especially since it's hand-sewn.

I'm in the same boat pal.

As long as you like it that's all that matters. Overall a great job.

You'e welcome! That is alot of hand-sewing! Cheers!! I saw another thread with an x-kilt with a similar look. The posters commented that it had a "roman soldier" look.
