    Finally Bit the Bullet

    Okay, so after making a few x-kilts, I finally took the plunge and ordered The Art of Kiltmaking from our own Celtic Croft. I can't wait to delve into this and start making some tartan kilts for myself. Wish me luch, y'all.

    Hey, that's great! Good luck and have lots of patience.

    Check out my handsewn denim kilt. I even used double-thread on it. I think my forearm muscles just doubled in size :-)

    Barb's book is an interesting read even for those of us who wouldn't dare try to sew. You really appreciate the work that goes into making a top notch kilt.

    Good luck!

    Cheers

    Did the same today after buying some PolyRayon on the cheap at JoAnns and some Desert MARPAT for an XKilt by request.
