first Xkilt

[swampfox]

well today i got almost 6 yards of material for my first Xkilt in the MarPat digital (Disclamer!... i am not nor have ever been a marine and this pattern has no eagle globe and anchor) i liked it over the other choices of camo so we shall see how it turns out since my first try was an epic fail (this was before i found the Xkilt design)... we shall see

Looking forward to seeing some work in progress pics.

Have fun making it!

my first xkilt was made from a boat canvas cover and came out great!
Alans directions are so good you shouldn't have any trouble as long as you have a table or floor to lay it out on.
I bet you can't just make one!

almost complete... just need to sew down the insides of the pleats and add some snaps then im good also ive tried searching but to no avail... the under apron right behind the over over apron kind of does this weird hanging thing so i think i will need to cut it and do some sew fu, pictures to follow soon.

If the left-hand edge of the under apron is showing beneath the hem of the over apron, it's a very easy fix to taper that "under" hem. Barb T talks about doing it on full-blown trad kilts in this thread.

I picked up and washed 6yards of the new Airforce camo for my Xkilt, (yes I was Airforce, along with Army and Navy). I will try to post pics when completed.
