The next project: a throwing/pubbing kilt for GGGP!

[Alan H]

Sewed down half the pleats today. There was much fiddling with stripes, and I ripped out and re-sewed three of the 12 I sewed down, to get the white stripe lined up right. I've discovered a little trick with a pin that is helping.

This should.....fingers crossed.... be ready for GGGP before Christmas.

I will have a bunch of 22-inch wide tartan left over. I am thinking about attempting a waistcoat. This would be a practice waistcoat. I'm thinking about it because now that I am finally sewing again, it's pretty likely that I will get back to work on my Ancient MacNaughton. I suspect that I am going to have at least a yard, maybe more of the tartan left over...24 inches wide...when I am done. I have no other use for it, I might as well make a waistcoat....

Then again, there's someone I know who might like a corset or similar top out of this Warrior tartan stuff.





We shall see.

That's a lot of tedious work! I see why I'm paying you the big bucks.
That's so nice of you to wish to get it out before Christmas, but that isn't necessary. There aren't any events until Feb.

Those tops are cute!

After several days hiatus and a busy weekend, I got back to work this morning and stitched down the rest of the pleats in a 40 minute go go go go session. It's looking like a kilt!
