Yeah, right, whatever you say Alan !
I finished today! I think I've probably put far more time into this than Alan intended when he wrote his little "manifesto", but as I've mentioned multiple times, I am a "mad perfectionist", and this project has actually been rather therapeutic for me during some difficult times at work lately.
Enough about me. This is about the kilt. Today I put the belt loops on.
First, I cut a 4" wide strip from a full width of the fabric (24")

Then I tri-folded it and ironed it down

Here's the whole strip

Then I sewed down one side of the strip and up the other. I did not bother with a zig-zag down the middle, because the raw edge was folded inside and I had a selvedged edge on top, so fraying was not an issue.

Next, I cut and attach the loops...
Be well,
