Greetings from Grangemouth
Hi there!
I’m a new member to XMarks. I’ve recently returned to Scotland after working in Hong Kong for 15 years. I have started wearing the kilt almost every day and also taken up kilt making. I’d love to link with other kilt makers, especially those who are beginners like myself. Look forward to hearing from kilt lovers across the world.

Welcome home, Bill. And welcome to the forum. Greetings from the US. I was just ab out to take up kilt making but a recent shoulder injury put that on hold. Now my kilt wearing is limited to my solo pipe competitions at Highland Games across the country.

Looks like we're having a 'kilted klergy konvention' here.

Welcome back and to the group. It's about 25 years since I worked out of Hong Kong it was good back then. What's it like now?

Welcome to the UK, to X marks, and to kilt making.
I cannot include myself amongst those with whom you wish to link - my sewing career is very long, 'Pleater' comes from my work with English smocking and costume making/restoring but I do find kilt making fascinating and love the mathematical combined with the aesthetical challenge of folding a patterned flat plane to make a 3 dimensional garment but as you do wish to hear from kilt lovers, here I am - and if you have a conundrum in constructing a successful kilt this is the place to enquire.
I also do knitting, both hand and machine - and crochet, macramé and other things with yarn, oh and I can spin using a spindle or wheel or electrical motor removed from a very old computer - the ones with the huge reels of magnetic tape. And there is dyeing as well.
I do like to pass on information and experience though, so do others here, so I hope we can be useful to you.
