How to Sew a Kilt

[SteveB]

And at Highland Games the number of people that won't have to press their pleats because they left the basting stitches in!

My turn, my turn:

This is from the "notes" section of the video - " Tidefront | October 13, 2009
This is a cheap design for mass quick kilts used in an annual Highland Games event. In no way is this supposed to be an official kilt. Thanks for the comments. And please for all you super serious kilt experts have fun with your own designs."

so there is SOME explanation to the kilt, for what it is worth....

Okay...I guess I can't bag on the guy for a lack of research on his part when I didn't bother to look at his post to see if there were any notes tagged to it.

Is that farm-fresh egg on my face??? Why, I believe I will make an egg sandwich.

(Seeing a heavy event competitor wearing his kilt backwards - pleats forward two years ago comes to mind)

I've seen this too, but I thought it happened during the spin tossing the stone or hammer? You know, centripetal force carried his pleats around the front?

But the whole thing is mirror imaged, the pleats run clockwise, rather than the standard way, the loose fabric is at the front and over the right shoulder rather than at the back and over the left.

It is just so wrong.
