This past weekend was the Loch Norman Highland Games and my neighbor wanted to go down and compete in the amature games. I of course informed him he would have to be kilted to compete. So he asked me to make him a kilt. He's of german descent, so not much into the kilt wearing. I made him a black canvas x-kilt (pictures forcoming) and had enough to make myself one as well (though I made mine with symetrical knife pleats, again pictures forcoming). So we get to games on Sunday and he puts on his kilt for the first time (other than for fittings) we get no more that 20 yards from the car and I hear him say "You know I think I could get into this kilt thing". After all day at the games he gone hardcore on me. He called me this morning from the fabric shop to tell me about the maroon fabric he found, picked up swatches and everything. Looks like I'm going to be busy for a while.

On a side note I wore my x-kilt on Saturday and had several people comment on my "UK". When I told them I made it they asked if I had a business card. I'm thinking I might have small side business prospect in the works.
