Thanks for the advice! As soon as I'm done with the repairs on the DukeofKilardy's kilt, JC's will be underway.

And as I was talking about these kilts with Bridget and Heather at the pub on Friday, one of the other regulars overheard us and went "You make kilts?" "I'm learning how," I replied.

The upshot is that when he gets the money together for the fabric, he wants me to make him a kilt. YIKES, that wasn't in the plan, but he is a LEO and knew my late husband professionally (Walt was with the KS Highway Patrol for 19 of the 21 years we were married). So I will try to make Barb proud of me *G*.

I will certainly earmark my vacation time next year for kilt kamp if I'm going to be doing more than one or two of these!
