Alan H, You owe me a shot of LAPHROAIG

**Dirk Skene** · 14th June 07, 08:07 PM

OK gang. You be the judges. In order:
My home was nice & peaceful, clean & tidy.
Alan H sends Dirka a machine.
Dirka takes the machine to her house.
Inokuma orders a mini from Sport Kilt.
Dirka gets material from The Frugal Corner.
Dirka finds a kilt pattern on the net.
Dirka e-mails pattern to Inokuma.
Inokuma’s mom remembers this whole friggin huge box of all kinds of material & the fact she has a sewing machine

First try .. Make one for the little one out of scrap so it doesn’t matter if it is not quite right.
Now my nice tidy house has become a garment factory.

picking out the material

inokuma with the future receipiant

See the monsters you have created with your kilted kindness. You have no one to blame but yourself.

Yes...we are the (kilted) people that our parents warned us about!

For your penance, you must wear a pair of Dockers to a Highland Games!

Best

Do you want us to help persuade Alan H to send some money? Or package and send a bottle? Or do you wants us to find another

Consider very carefully before you answer...

**Dirka Skene** · 15th June 07, 09:16 AM

Like I said Uncle Dirk, think of it as an investment. You'll eventually be getting a kilt or two out of the deal. Now that Inokuma is into kilts, maybe you can even get Deb to start making you some kilt hose too.

That is somewhat of a consolation

I wish she would hook up that sock machine.

way2fractious... I’ll eventually meet up with him

**Alan H** · 15th June 07, 11:30 AM

Did someone say "sock machine"?

***hopefully***

and then cackling like a crazy man.......I have created a MONSTER! No, THREE monsters!!!!
Beware, Dirk Skene, Your Women are on the loose, armed with sewing machines and fabric!

It's worth a whole bottle of Laphroiag!

Surely, Dirk, there is room on the couch for another kiltmaker to take up temporary residence?
