Hi from North Texas
Hi Everyone!
I started researching kiltmaking on the Internet, and it led me straight to this forum, happily enough.
While I've sewn everything from custom cave diving vests to bug-eyed-bird-boo-bags (specialty covers for antique airplanes to keep the !@#$ starlings from nesting in the engine compartments) I was fascinated with my husband's kilt and the way it is designed. Since I don't want to pull apart anything, I am waiting for my copy of the wonderful kiltmaker's guide and will hopefully learn enough to sew soon. I have a feeling my handcrank sewing machine will LIKE pleats.
Hope to see some of you at the Salado Highland Games in November!
Best,
Valerie

Welcome Valerie from VA. I lived in Wichita Falls for 2 1/2 years after the '79 tornado, my dad's house was flattened. I hope you enjoy the kiltmaking and you can get lots of pointers here. We are a very friendly and helpful bunch.

Hi, Valerie, and welcome to X Marks from the bottom end of Africa.
It is great to see so many expressing interest in kiltmaking. If I didn’t have 10 thumbs . . .
And you’re a piper, too!
The more the merrier!
Regards,
Mike
