Homeade kilts for kids

[ShaunMaxwell]

Years ago, I made a couple of kilts for our girl out of tartan scarves. On the first, I pleated the central part of the scarf (nothing exact — I just eyeballed it), pressed the pleats and stitched them in — about 4 inches per pleat. Here’s the first:

You can see that she was able to wear this for some time!

I did the second one the same way, only to the stripe — which was easier and looked better:

I didn’t bother with buckles, but just belted them around her.

Once she’d outgrown them, I removed the stitches and reclaimed my scarves.

Perhaps something along these lines would work for your crew. Looking forward to seeing photos!

Cheers,
