Hair Canvas in the Apron of a Canvas Kilt

[Bugbear]

Oops...

I sewed the buckle partway on, then checked it and it was too far forward. That was just a measuring mistake, but now I know what the front apron does when it can't be pulled tight.

I will start again tomorrow; I don't think I can do any more sewing this evening.

I removed the belt loops because I don't use them, and they kind of got in the way. I'm pondering what to do with them; I might put a loop to hang something from... I don't know.

* I kept thinking about it, and it was bothering me, so I moved the buckle to the correct place. It's not completely sewn on yet, but enough to check.

It's much much better now, and everything centers up nicely.

As far as I could tell the apron edge was almost a ninety degree angle, but it had a large turn under to work with. I used that to angle the hem as much as I could from the waistband to the bottom edge. It's very close to the angle of the other side of the apron, and it now curls around the side of my leg down toward the bottom like the other side does. kind of like a regular kilt apron does.

I don't think it was originally designed to have the apron centered at the top and bottom, but it looks, or feels, much better to me, now.

There is an issue with the reverse double pleat at the underapron up at the hip area, but I'm still studdying what is causing the problem.

At the very least, this is showing me what I would like in a contemporary kilt, but I think it's coming out OK.
