your legacy
Alan,
Whether you choose to continue to make kilts or not, please know that your x-kilt directions, as well as your coat altering directions have inspired many people on this list to tackle making thier own kilts. Your kilt making legacy will live on through this site, and the many people that have made the x-kilt. These simple directions have not only inspired me to make an x-kilt (with two more on the way), but also my Sabres kilt. With you sharing your knowledge with this list, I was inspired to make an x-kilt then purchase Barb's book to make my own traditional eight yard kilt shortly. It has also given me the confidence to alter two SWK's for band members and make our youngest member a kilt from a fly plaid (with the help of Barbs book The art of Kiltmaking). Without your brave first attempts and great documentation I never would have undertaken these projects. If this is your last kilt, I am sure that it will be perfect.
My mother is working on making me a kilt jacket, which has taken her about a year. With your jacket directions I was able to alter one jacket, for me in a few days, I altered one for my wife in just a few short hours, and I plan to pick up two more coats from the post office I got off of e-bay for $25 that will be great kilt jackets.
So whether you continue to make kilts or not, your legacy will continue. I will still order kilts from our great kilt makers on this site, but anytime I see a tartan fabric that I can get cheap, I know I can make a very nice kilt out of it, and it all started with your little x-kilt project.
Continued thanks,
