My phillabeg

[acstoon]

I got home, from work, and what did my eyes behold?
My phillabeg has arrived!

Here's a couple pix of the new addition:




Sorry for the pix quality... we definitely need a new camera.

The fabric is much softer than I was expecting.
Colors are very rich, and go well with my Dread McFeck tam & garter snakes.
One edge is selvedged, while the other sport a 1/2" fringe.
I elected to go without cheater pleats, as I enjoy the variations in pleat that I can achieve by hand.
It holds a pleat very well, although knife pleats would not be likely (okay by me).
The foldover, at the top (over the belt) lay down nicely once I was done adjusting everything.
I plan on wearing it more, during the warm months, in lieu of my feile mor.

Highly recommended!
