Arrival of my first tartan!

[AlabamaCelticLass]

This is my first real post here, and since both of the Lasses Wear threads are closed, I figured "Miscellaneous" would be a safe bet

I purchased 6 yards of homespun Anderson (modern) tartan from Celtic Croft... I am very impressed! It was one of the less expensive tartans at $30/ yard (54 inch width) and due to being homespun, the description stated that it would be more loosely woven than premium tartans and would have small imperfections. However, I love the more historic look and feel, and I could not be more pleased!

I also purchased 3 yards of wool fabric from a local general store, which gets fabrics directly from the manufacturers and has exceptional prices- a third the cost of other fabric suppliers here, and a far better selection and quality.

For years I have wanted to make a historic Highland costume, so my plan is to use the wool for the skirt, 3 yards of the tartan for an arisaid, and also make the other items- linen shift and kertch, fitted bodice, etc.

I am so excited, I had to share with someone! (None of my friends get it.)
