Not a disaster (I tell myself)

[Pleater]

So I was at a folk festival at the weekend and on the Saturday I got very wet - as a result, on Sunday morning I put on my 8 yards of darkness ankle length kilt which I know needs my careful attention - it gets everybody else's after all.

I arrived, I swaggered off to perform with my morris side, grey top hat with black lace, black 'uniform', except for the various colours of 'tatter' - traditional for Border morris.

Pride cometh before disaster.

I have two holes in it.

It is not a total disaster as the holes are small and I can fix it but it will mean sewing just over 16 yards of ribbon around the edge of it - 32 yards of sewing. I just need to decide if I will use black or purple ribbon.
