A tapering nightmare.
Hi all. Haven't been around much lately, but I've had a lot to do. Sewing has definitely been a part of it. I earned some cash fixing some clothes for a friend, and made myself a black bull-denim kilt. Pics of the kilt later.
I'm working on a kilted skirt for my wife using a remnant of Black Watch miniature sett that I had around from making my first kilt. The different aprons aren't a real problem, but tapering is driving me straight up the wall and around the corner. Tapering for myself or my brother-in-law is real easy. I have a 4" taper, he has a 5" taper. For my wife, however, I am dealing with 15 zarking inches of taper. I have pinned in pleats three bleedin' times already. At least I don't have to change anything below the fell, so I only have to redo tapering, but AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH HHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!
