my first Xkilt

Looks great! Almost a saffron color. The waist band looks comfortable. What type of material is it?

Cheers!

I've been choosing to call it "Weathered Saffron" to celebrate my (distant) Irish roots. The material is called chevron cloth, it's usually used for inexpensive theatrical drapes; I picked up some seconds for nothing that were used as packing material from our supplier. I think it's all cotton.

I have some black as well, but I did the saffron first for practice. I also have some finer grained black I want to use for a knife pleat; so many projects, so little time.
