I was not going to share these, because DD took the pictures
but didn't straighten the kilt. It should have been rotated
sop that the CB stripe lined up with the point of the jacket
back. I'll get better pics later, plus "in progress" pics.

That's a nice piece of work that is! I'd have gone bonkers over all this
pattern matching on the pleats, but, as I know myself, I'd hove died in
trying (I found that I've turned slightly - only very slightly - obsessive
in recent years; old age, I guess ;-). Anyway, your DGD looks lovely in it
and she deserves every drop of sweat you put into that garment. She did win
a couple of contests, didn't she? Be careful, she might be accused of
doping, with a kilt like that to boost her spring. ;-)

I am freaky, in that I LOVE the challenge of matching
stripes, plaids and even printed fabric patterns. Since the
pleats are hand sewn above the hips, the matching is
actually fairly easy, one lines them up and then hand sews
with a tiny backstitch along the edge. I loved it.
It's the math figuring out exactly how many pleats-per-sett,
and what size they have to be to provide the exact hip and
waist measurements while maintaining the sett that drove me
batty. Especially as I didn't purchase the fabric, so there
was no extra in case of error. I would have preferred 29
narrower pleats across the back, I had to settle for 23. I
would have purchased at least an extra half yard.

I suspect I have always been OC. ;-}

Thanks, and yes she was awarded one first place and three
seconds. This was her best showing so far at the Premier
level.

Best t-shirt I've seen in a while read:
"I don't have OCD. I have CDO where the letters are alphabetical like they
should be." LOL

Beautiful kilt and young lady! A great job as always.
