es, not all kilts are well behaved - but when still in the fabric stage of their development they are quite untamed - in fact, during sewing and pressing stages they are probably worse than teenagers - there are kilt lengths all over the settee and the snooker table, on the dining table and bolts of fabrics still wild and unmeasured are lurking under the stairs ready to leap out and trip up anyone passing by.

Almost finished kilts are draped over the ironing board in the back bedroom and spread all over the bed and chest of drawers.

Perhaps once they settle down and get a few wearings under their belts they will become less unruly but at the moment things are chaotic in the extreme.

No change there then.
