    Good news everyone!

    Me kilt is finished!!!! Yay!

    http://picasaweb.google.com/3.j.l0uw...eat=directlink

    Short disclaimer for those brave enough to click on the link. I realised after completing the kilt that I somehow skipped a very important step. A-shaping. How I forgot about that is beyond me, but we'll just have to blame the fact that I was over excited and couldn't wait to get the kilt done.

    Also, this is my first big sewing project, so everything isn't a 100% to my liking, yet. I also mucked up the belt loops. Made them a wee bit too small for my belt of preference.

    I have enough material left for another kilt, and on that one I would like to implement a few of my crazy ideas. Kilt tilt is pretty high on that list.

    Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions for me, fire away.

    You did it! You did it, all by yourself, with not a lick of adult supervision. HA!

    Guid on ye.

    I see you've got a bit of pleat curl there on the over-apron, left side. Try moving the kilt around on your body and see if it goes away.

    BTW ladies, the little roller-chalk thingy is the cats meow. I was given one recently and I dig it. For those who don't own this nifty item, though...blackboard chalk will still get you going.

    Thanks for all the kind comments! Every X-Kilt made is a success story for everybody!
