A kilt for a little man

**Offline** · 21st January 13, 04:58 PM

After thinking on it more, I would love to get my little 15 month old a kilt like dad.

Has anyone else kilted up their young? If so, do kilt makers make them in the super small?

Did you check out the ad to the right on the webite here? It seems www.babykilts.com might have exactly what you are looking for. Some adorable pictures, too.

We wanted our (then 8-month-old) daughter to have a kilt that matched mine when we got married last summer. Bonnie Heather Greene did an excellent job with a full-on real baby-sized kilt. We opted for velcro instead of buckles, as then we can adjust the size for a bit.

When my daughter was much younger, I made a couple of "kilts" for her simply by stitching pleats into a couple of tartan scarves and strapping them around her with a belt (over a custom onesie or T-shirt, usually). The result was cute and very cost-effective. Once she'd outgrown them, I removed the stitching from the pleats and reclaimed my scarves.

Wow! Didn't even see that ad. Thanks! Oh and there will be pictures of course!

Speaking of picture, those are adorable. Just makes me want to kilt up my little boy more!

That leftover piece in the middle of a double width piece of cloth after your kilt is made might be just the right width to do it on the cheap...

I got my 6 year old a kilt from www.stillwaterkilts.com for $15.00. He loves wearing it with the old man. We go out and practice throwing together and he always wears it to competitions to cheer me on! Good quality and velcro.

Last summer I made a baby kilt using a tartan scarf.

First I measured the length and made a hem for future growth....

Next I centered the tartan pattern for the apron, trimmed the scarf fringe and made a facing, made the underapron, planned and stitched the pleats, and sewed a ribbon to the top to make the waistband.....

Then I basted and pressed the lower pleats, turned the ribbon waistband under and stitched, and the sewed on velcro to fasten.

It took about 3 hours. The scarf cost about $30.
