Two hours to Scotsman!!!

Logan's latest research project was on his choice of a country. We chose Scotland as half of me comes from there and Ireland. Something about a great, great, great, great grandfather being hung as a horse thief. If you know me or my family, that fits. Not as a thief, just as an eccentric. I love the thought of the story, but I guess nowadays the poor guy would be considered a car stealing thug. *sigh* Doesn't sound so romantic and pretty then. Oh well. Still got some Scottish and Irish blood running through these veins.

So, on to the point of this lil story, for Logan's Christmas party tomorrow, he is supposed to dress the part. I assumed there was absolutely no way I could talk him into wearing a kilt, so didn't even ask him. Until 8:00 this evening. And ya know what his answer was?!?! Yup, you guessed it. "Yes, I'll do it!!!!". Really, seriously?!?!? OMGosh. I gotta come up with a kilt. Crappola!!!!!

Then I remembered a pair of dress shorts my aunt handed me down just a few months ago. I totally wanted to try and make them modern to wear this winter, but, so far the ideas for my Christmas outfits are sitting in a closet. There had been NO TIME to sew. SO, when Logan said yes, I jumped all over it!!!!! I feel so happy at this moment!!! Didn't get to sew anything fun for me, but had a blast thinking up this!!!!

Here we go....

This is what I started out with.

This is what we ended up with!!!

Yes, I know there are no pockets on kilts, but...

My fringe.  Just need to find a pin to complete it!

The complete ensemble!!!

My little Scotsman!!! Can't wait to see him in it in the AM. Let's just hope he still goes for it!!!!
