Perhaps the World's First ABU Kilt?

It's a tough jones. I've never had a contemporary kilt.

George,
Your fabric has be pre-washed and is in a box awaiting me to begin work on it. I have a few Kilts ahead of you on the order board and a couple of those are for special events that I just can't miss delivery on.

I promise I will let you know as soon as you are the next Kilt in line.

The newest product form hero-handbags. (www.herohandbagsandmore.com)

That's another army product, by the way. They'll make them out of any service's pattern, though.

Hi George,
As promised here are some photos of your kilt being made.

The first shows the 4 pieces laid out on the table.
Why four pieces you ask????????

Well, that is because the Camo pattern goes the length of the fabric. So to keep the alignment of the Camo the same as that in your uniform I have to cut the fabric in pieces and then join them side to side.




Here's a closer shot of the four pieces. Note that the pleats are topstitched and pinned in place, the Hem is in and the apron tapers and apron tips are sewn.



For a detailed explanation of apron tips I just posted some other photos of how I taper the aprons and solve the problem of the apron tips in one of Barb T. threads.

You can see them here.

Things to do to keep the Jones down...

- Go out of town a lot.
- Calculus Homework... because there's always more calculus homework to do.
- Go hunting for a few days.
- Go visit grandma. Fish on grandma's dock.
- Refresh the Xmarks page over and over.
