Day Four - And Call for Assistance

Day four with cigarettes has being going pretty well. The is a burning at the back of my mouth that I've associated with nicotine cravings, but it's nothing some water, or a mint can't fix.

I spent most of yesterday working on my kilt.

I put the waist band on and did a test fitting. I discovered that I made the under apron too small! You can see that several pleats are hanging below the lower edge of the apron. FEH!

Has anyone successfully made an American-style kilt using a mathematical formula that worked? Could you share it with me?

This is my second kilt. My first kilt (above) turned out okay, but I seem to have lost all the complicated calculations I used to make it.

Anyway, I need to put snaps on the waistband, and then I'll put the black buckles on some black or tan strapping. That will keep the apron flat (I hope!). Then I want to make some sort of side pockets to put on either side. I don't want to use a sporran.

So if anyone wants to help me out . . .
