    Gave it it's First Wash.

    I decided to give my Utility Kilt it's first wash yesterday. I put it in the Washer and when it was done, hung it up to air dry on the Shower Curtain Rod. The tag on the kilt said I could put it in the dryer or have it dry cleaned. When I hung it up to dry it was really wrinkled and the Pleats didn't look all that great. But as it hung and dried the shape of the kilt started to take it's natural shape. This morning when I got up the Kilt had it's shape back but definitely needed a pressing. Placing the kilt on the living room floor on clean towels, after I gave it a vacuum (I won't see my cat Alexander anymore today - He hates the Vacuum Cleaner) The kilt was still a wee bit damp when I went to iron it...

    It is hung up for tomorrow for when I wear it as I take my take my Seniors to their Day Programmes they attend and deliver the Meals on Wheels to the Volunteers at the Depot. I can hear my Seniors calling me the "Highland Man in Black" as with the exception of the White Hose, the Ghillie Shirt n' Flashes and the kilt are all in Black. One thing I did notice, some of the Pleats want to naturally curl at the edges, even when they have been pressed. Any thoughts that what I can do to make the pleat edges sharp?
