Well, it took a while, but it's done. I had downloaded Alan's Xkilt instructions a while ago, thought about it for a while, then finally got started. As I am not Scottish, I decided to go with a solid color first time. The instructions, along with the additional information posted here in the forums, made it easy work. It was not technically hard, but it took time. After I got it all done, I tried it on, and decided a few adjustments were necessary. The under apron was too wide, wrapping part way around my hip. I trimmed and re-hemmed the under apron so that it finishes where the over apron starts. The over apron was also trimmed to sit even with the first pleat. I added two small belt straps as well.

I have yet to get my sporran, and some proper hose, but all in due time. I found the belt (1.5") at Walmart of all places after searching local stores high and low for something suitable. This is a casual kilt after all.

Anyhow, to the pictures:







I wore it today when I went to pick up my wife from work, her fellow employees kept asking her how hard it was to make. She kept smiling and proudly declaring that I was the one who made it. One co-worker asked me to spin around, then asked me to spin faster.... cheeky monkey was trying to catch a glimpse.
