Two-nic

Yesterday and today the Fox and I made a tunic for NWO. Although he doesn't seem to think that his contribution was that great, without him the finished garment would have been the wrong size, had the wrong edging and would have taken about three times as long as it did. Also, the process of designing and making it would have been a real chore. As it is the experience was mostly a lot of fun.

Don't get me wrong, this item of clothing wasn't terribly complex, I imagine that certain of the people reading this would have been able to run up a far superior version in less than half the time. However, it was created by us and is therefore infinitely more wondeful than the most perfectly tailored garment would be.

C'mon, Bin.

Just how long does it take to make a kilt?

[binidj.livejournal.com]

Longer than you might suspect ... smartarse. =p

Besides, as mentioned above, I was making a tunic not a kilt. Tunics are only slightly more complex than kilts but they are a step up the ladder. I even managed to pin and sew the sleeves on the right way round first time ... a feat of which I am extremely proud.

There's no sewing in a proper kilt - just folding and belting.

Which reminds me - Bin - do you need to borrow a kilt or are you sorted?

[binidj.livejournal.com]

Well, yes but it takes me ages to fold and belt a kilt.

And I think I'm ok thank you, though obviously I'm a little nervous. I shall have a full dress-run later in the week just to check that I have all the required components. So you may be getting a slightly panicked email at some point!

Well done.
Tits to what other people can do, anyone who takes the time to make their own costume should be applauded.
