Kilt Progress: Aprons

I’m marking the apron and under apron in chalk. The fabric piled up in the middle will all be hand sewn into pleats.

MacPherson Red Muted tartan spread across kitchen floor with most of it piled up in the middle, long tape measure on the kilt apron, which is marked in chalk

Fabric for a New Kilt

I’m excited! I’m starting a new kilt for my son. I’ll be posting the whole adventure, from fabric to finished swish! The process begins with eight yards of MacPherson Red Muted from Strathmore Woollen Mill in Scotland spread out across the kitchen and into the hallway. So glad I have a long stretch of floor. It makes it easier to do the measuring and mark the pleats.
