Hi Everyone,

I am new here and just thought I would say hello! I live in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada. I am interested in learning how to make kilts, and am just open to any suggestions.

Mary

As a start, may I suggest you find a copy of "The Art of Kiltmaking" by Barb Tewksbury. Barb T is a member here and you may find her ad on the right side ad banner.

This is the definitive printed work and teaches the school of kiltmaking taught at Gordon & sons.

Then perhaps you may wish to look at some of the kiltmaking courses taught around the world.
There is our own X Marks sponsored Kilt Kamp taught by Barb T and myself.
There are also courses in Edinburgh & Nova Scotia you may like.

That book is next on my list to buy!

I am looking forward to this as an adventure.

Welcome to the "Great Rabble!"

Welcome from the other side of the Atlantic. I'm a Scotsman living in the English Midlands.
All the best for the kilt-making. Look forward to seeing pics.

I will be sure to post lots as I progress

this forum has been quite inspiring! I have given myself lots of time to read and learn as I want to make a kilt for the love of my life, he wants to wear a kilt for our wedding

Nothing better than a man in a kilt

Well met Mary. Glad to have another woman among the many here. You'll be in good company.

Thanks! So welcoming here, it's quite refreshing!

You have just discovered one of the things about X Marks that puts it head and shoulders above the normal internet site. We like to be civil and treat each other kindly and with respect.
