- I've made my calculations, checked them twice, and 'struck' (marked with chalk) the widths of the 37 box-pleats and 2 knife pleats.
Then I ripped the cloth to its correct length - having first made sure that the 'good' edge was destined to be the bottom of the kilt rather than the waste strip!
Now I'm basting each box-pleat for its first press. This is a boring yet meticulous task, so I'll either find something intriguing to think about (what affect did European politics have on the last Jacobite rising of 1715? - that'll keep me thinking...) or put on some good tunes.
I'll probably alternate between the two...
I wish there was a way to ‘like’ these videos more than once.
The fact that your left handed as well has helped me tons. I'm still a long way from making a kilt, but I have the concept down
As a Seamstress, I love these videos and find them to be quite helpful.
My wife said "people need to see you press because there's big difference between pressing and ironing. Quilters understand that but a lot of people don't."
A little compressed air is a great was to remove corrected chalk marks, i do this in my upholstery shop where I have a compressor. Maybe a small can of compressed air would work for you, and maybe for you it is a solution without a problem.
Why did u take so much fabric off it ?? Ive investigated and ive found my county tartan ..in 29 inch width... ill need the whole width ...i need my arthritic knees covered lol lol
I know you really like D.C. Dalgleish as your favorite. Is that a special run (As far as color values) of a Seaforth tartan? In 16oz.? That is a very striking pattern. It almost looks 'Partially' weathered. Sorry, I must have missed Part one. So I go my answer regarding this color palette. Previously in a video you mentioned that you could do a special run. Would this tartan in this color palette be available in the future if a client wanted a kilt made, for a kilt project?
