Completed my first XKILT..FINALLY!!...but it turns out to be a 50+ yarder!!!
lines were all wrong, wasnt hemmed properly, waist band would make you sea sick just looking at it and the top apron more resembled a rhomboid than an A-frame...lol...and lucky for me it was solid color i was using!...lol...So, I have re-read Barb-T's book, sat down with my mom (who was a seamstress by trade) and we have taken it apart and I was criticized AND schooled as to what I did wrong and more imprtantly where...lol...As reconstruction begins I will photograph this one a lot. Plus I think after discussing with the parental unit, I think we are going to take a stab at the Rev-K style kilt. I have a question though, will 1 inch pleats be too small for my rather largeish frame? I was thinking a 2 inch reveal would be good for my 54 inch waistline, yeah I know, but hey at least its not 58 like it was before I started on the kilt wagon!!!! And best part is its shrinking little by little!!!!
