What do you, guys think

Nice work Alex,
I would suggest you drop the second belt and buckle. It seems to be pulling the front apron and making creases.

So, what have you learned?
How many kilts have you made?

Thank you, Sir. You are absolutely right about second strap, real problem is that I have thick bandage on my hip - injured myself on the bike last week, but I tried to tide it up so here is how it went.

My grandma tried to pass craft on me a wile ago, but I's to stupid to pay attention beck then. Now decided to make a move. So about 4 mnths ago I took apart a kilt she made for me and refreshed what I remembered with Burb's book.
And this is my 18th kilt and last 5 I managed to make using slightly different methods mostly because I'm left handed.

Wow, a left handed kilt maker. How do you do the pleats? Do you start at the fell and work up?

Very nice. This is the first time I've seen the Maple Leaf tartan pleated to stripe. I really like it!

Well, tell you what, when it comes to the hand first put it together as you are right handed and pin it, then bast it along the pleat age then remove pins, turn 180 and wrong side up and do it from the wrong side using basting as a guide and checking on the right, starting from the fell. And same works for the machine, except that all you really need is pins. The real trick is to place pins right, so the thickness of fabric's not affect pleat placement and straitness.

That adds a few more steps to the pleats! It sure looks like you have that left handed kilting issue solved.

Good on ya,

I second that. My tank came with three straps. It only has two now, if you know what I mean.
