Elsie Stuehmeyer sent me the following information, at my request, for the kiltmaking classes she will be putting on in 2007.

So, you lucky dogs in Arizona, Utah, New York and surroundings, and (maybe) California who need some stern hand-holding as you spend five days building your own 8-yard traditional kilt (aka, a "tank"), send me a PM and I'll get the contact information for the class sponsors so you can settle dates and sign up.

Elsie is the instructor, not the sponsoring organization. The sponsor does all the logistical work and pays the instructor, including travel, room and board. The "your people" she refers to come from my telling her about regional groupings of XMarksTheScot members around the USA and the world. This forum was a new thing to her. Who knew there was such a group of (obsessed, fanatic, rabid, addicted, U-pick adjective) of kilt wearers, many of whom have also been infected with the drive to make their own kilt(s)?

Back to business. In the case of those in proximity to the San Fransisco Bay Area, there is a sponsor opportunity on the table already. However, she is suggesting that if ten XMarkers (and any other interested parties) commit to a five-day kiltmaking session, she would consider a proposal.

Now is the time for all good men to... become a man-and-a-half.

And don't forget the Kilt Kamp in June 2007 in Victoria, British Columbia. The five-day kiltmaking session scheduled there is to be instructed by Barbara Tewksbury (and Barb doesn't rap your knuckles with a ruler if you use pins!)

Kilt on!
