Wedding Preparations

[xman]

Sorry, my confusion... All those red lines look so alike to me!

The two tartans are almost identical except for the addition of the white lines in Clanranald.

I just pressed the groomsman's kilt and here are the pleats as requested.



This one will be done in a day or two.

That's a busy tartan. But your doing a fantastic job! It looks perfect to me.

[CMcG]

Excellent work on those pleats, the sett looks great!

[xman]

It has come out very well again.

Of particular pride are the sporran loops and the top band. Now to ship it before the postal workers strike.

[Thor271]

Looks great. Very impressed.

For anyone following this thread, I unfortunately cut my left index finger tip pretty badly yesterday and I'll have to take some time off from sewing. I hope to be back at it in a week rather than fall behind schedule again.

so, xman, are those ( in post # 25) knife pleats, or have you moved on to military box pleats? ;0)

The pleats are sharp, but they're not quite that sharp.

I just got a call from my Step Mother who is a bit of a dressmaker herself. She raved at the quality of the kilts and praised me up and down. Feels good. I imagine it'll feel even better to see the lads finely attired on wedding day. I'm chuffed!
