Hmmm, time to stop

So...will you regret doing a "half-baked job"? If so, save it for another day and do it right!

Nope, I won't regret it. I'll just wear it at times when I don't have to be wearing a really nice kilt.

The hate mission continues. I re-aligned the worst of the two box pleats, and in the process discovered that I'd folded up one box pleat totally wrong. So I ripped that out and hand-sewed it. When it's pressed, it looks fine, now. The others aren't so bad...certainly not perfect but not mind-numbingly bad.

I put it on this morning and discovered that I missed a fold in the very first box pleat. No wonder the under-apron pleat was so big. So now I'll have to undo the blind stitching in the under-apron pleat, rip out about 6 inches of waistband, and re-do it.

Once that's done, all that's left is the right hand buckle/strap. I'm going to close the thing with a button on the inside....and, the final insult. I don't have enough material for sporran/belt loops so this kilt will have no loops at all. So be it.

Well, I'm wearing it, today. I still need to put on the right hand side strap, but the buckle is in. The kilt is pinned on me...how traditional. I'll see if I can get pics today, though they'll probably be cell phone pics.
