Home sick again and being boring - back on Monday.
The pleating technique? Holy fluffy skirts, Batman! It stands out as much as a cartridge pleated skirt, but has the bound waistband and even pleats of the pictures and the extant piece from the Czech Republic. Pictures next week.
I'm working on adding the guards to the pink skirt right now, since I want to wear it to Storvik Novice.
The sewing is fine, but a bit painful, as I am still having issues from having corticosteroids injected into my elbows on Tuesday. Either that, or I have Lyme Disease - I need to make another doctor appointment, which I so love doing, dammit.
Anyway.
Hey - 500~ friends? - you guys rock. I'll be funny/interesting/informative Monday. Until then, try not to kill and eat anyone.

Here's to your NOT having Lyme Disease, or at least having a very prompt appointment time if you *must* have it.
Oh, and I meant to ask this, but how exactly is this pleating working? Sewn twice, but not cartridge pleats? I'm kinda confused as my brain keeps throwing up the sewn pleats of modern kilts.

Huzzah on the petticotes!
*hugs* Hope you feel better soon. Tea, dammit!
I mention it a few entries back - in one of the recent ones that has the "sewing" tags, but I didn't really explain much about it, just that I was going to try it out. :)
sorry to hear it hurts so much. good luck...*gentle hugs*
*Burp* Sorry....
On a more serious note, I can't wait for pictures!
Seriously though, hope you are feeling better soon and crossing fingers that Lyme’s Disease isn't on your dance card.
I'll be eagerly awaiting the construction notes, I remember seeing your short note on the new technique, but I couldn't puzzle it out. *sigh.
... I am learning far, far too much about making these sorts of things from you. I hope you're happy with what you've done.
The youthlings will learn, they will!
I'll hold off on my petticoat-in-progress until I see your photos. I'm tremendously excited. You do inspiring work.
