Thanks for the kind words. Doing the job (even starting the job) was always backed up by the thought that "If I screwed up, I can take it to a tailor". Really, the hardest part (which wasn't really hard, but simply "the hardest part") was sitting down to figure out the fringe area. After that it was simply repetition.

What was interesting was that I could look at the same kind of "hem stitch" on my kilt that was done by the kilt maker for securing a part of the apron material, and use it as an example for my work.

Actually after the effort, and the success that I had on it, I bought Barbra Tewkesbury book "the art of kilt making". I'm not sure if I'm ever going to sew a kilt or not, but (now) I'm certainly not afraid of it. I don't own a sewing machine, and so if I do decide to make a kilt it will definitely (for better, or worse) be hand sewn...LOL..
