I'm "legal" if someone comes to the door, but it has all the freedom AND machine washable which makes it ideal to cook in (I'm a very messy cook). It is essentially a kilted PJ bottom. Looks bad -- feels good. So what! i learned, and it didn't cost me anything but time. And I wouldn't be attempting my next plaid kilt if I hadn't had the freedom to completely screw up the first one.

If you have fun making the kilt, and the fabric didn't cost you much.... I think it was a worth while endeavor.

Thats funny I did the same thing, looks like :crap: but feels great, and nice to lounge around in.
