Finally got a reasonable photo of the pleats. The horizontal wander is not permanent, just how it laid out at time of photo. Truest condition is down at the bottom, at line of hem basting.

Can you tell how bored I got with basting? I know, I know, it's a vital step in the process. . . but my Gawd, it is tedious

I've got the sporran-belt loops in place now but am waiting for arrival of belts and buckles. I was going to kluge some, but decided I have put too much time into this and went for some Highland XPress "real Scottish" ones instead. So those and lining must wait, probably til I am back from a short trip late next week.

Meantime, the pleats at last revealed (so to speak). . .
