    box-pleating during COVID

    Hello, comrades.

    As a schoolteacher, I'm home and trying to do this teach-at-home thing but I want to do something new and different. Even though I have plans to learn some kilt-making this summer, I think I'm going to take this opportunity of COVD-19 times to use Prof. Barbara Tewksbury's book THE ART OF KILTMAKING and try my hand at making a four-yard box-pleated kilt. I have two belted plaids -- really, each just 4 yards of double-wide 16 oz tartan -- and I'm finding that I don't wear them as much as my lighter-weight belted plaids. Perhaps the first one to go under the knife will be my Canadian Maple Leaf tartan. If I don't suck at this, perhaps I'll toss up some photos here and there. <deep breath!>

    Best,
    Jonathan
