My DIY kilt

Jun 27, 2008 01:45

Ahhh, I debuted my first kilt at the square dance club night tonight!
It is a handsewn 7.6-yard, 12-oz. blue denim kilt, made in the traditional design (except the non-tartan fabric).

I like the idea of the denim look. Very sharp!

Thanks M!

Impressive. Good idea with the denim.

My eyes are still asleep, and I ready the line as "tacky kilt tip." I'm gonna have to used "tacky" as an initialism for this year's convention.

Thanks fuzzygruf. I made the kilt to join in the kilt tip at the convention! There seems to be a trend here for me -- I joined LJ to dance in the LJ tip, as well. :-)

Just promise me that you won't be headed for the Women's Tips next!

I promise I won't. (LOL... Did they force you into one? :-)

Having seen it IRL, it looks just as fabulous in person.

But I wouldn't want to iron all those pleats.

Thanks K! There are 21 pleats (my birthday's on a 21st). You can handle it :-)
