We're (my wife and kids and I) taking a 2 week vacation at my Mother's home in North Carolina. We thought this would be a great time to try our hand at an X-Kilt. My wife is both crafty and frugal, so this is waaaaay better than buying me alot more kilts. My mother was once employed running the costume shop fo a theater, ie she has the sewing skills we're sorely lacking. We picked up some poly/cotton material at fabric shop we stumbled upon in a near by town. I'm very excited!! Here are some pics from the first two days of work.
