It's lightweight, but it's heavier than some other material I used recently to make my sister a box-pleated tartan skirt. I just added a little band of lining canvas in the hem and used a little starch when washing it. It's very soft and will be great for wearing to any Canada Day BBQ's.(and yes it is a kilt but I don't want to bring that "women wearing kilts thing” up again! )So far it's been pretty ok to cut and sew.

My main point was it was a great find for a DIYer for practicing their kilt making skills. I am going to try pleating to the set with this one. If I foul up, it's not that much of a financial loss. It's hard to do much with most of the generic fashion prints found in most fabric stores. The sets are very small most of the time.

By any means I would NEVER recommend that the average kilt buyer go out and purchase Wal-Mart cloth and expect to have a long lasting tank made from it, but to a DIYer, it might just help them build their skill.

And thank goodness kilt making is rather low tec, we lost power for a few hours, but I did not notice I was kilt making in front of our living room window!
