Hello
Hello,
I am here because I have got very interested in making my own kilt. The challenge of constructing a garment that is about engineering as much as art appeals to me. I like the more contemporary kilts like the skilt and the utilikilt, because I am very fond of garments with pockets.
I am in Yorkshire, but like many in England I have some ancestors from over the border, apparently our ancestors had a castle somewhere in Scotland, but like most, the money is at another end of the family, or gone altogether!
So hello to everyone, and I am sure I will be asking a lot of questions and doing a lot of reading on here before I embark on my own first kilt.

You'll find that The Wizard of BC has a similar approach, being both an engineer and a kiltmaker (and a few other things too!)

Well met Rainbow. I had not thought of kilts as engineered but it makes sense to me now that you mention it. Have fun in your endeavor. Welcome from Oxford, MS. USA
