First steps on the road to kilt making
OK, it's nothing earth shattering, but with a little advice from Chas and especially Steve A, I've just taught myself how to use an electric sewing machine.

The item on the left is a bag I had hand-sewn but the seams didn't hold. (No I didn't make the flashes.. that's another project for another time) It now has proper seams.
The one on the right is my first actual project - a small wallet to hold my eldest son's kilt pins. Only took me about 15 minutes.
I'm pretty proud of myself.
A few more practice sessions making bags for hose, sporrans, etc., and once I'm happy that I can sew in straight lines, I'll attempt my first kilt for Shehan.
