My wife for Christmas got me what seems to me to be a good Singer sewing machine.

I've had this 9 yards of double-width Black Watch sitting around my place for 2 1/2 years already, and I'm sick of only having 2 (tailored) kilts to wear these past 6 years.
I have hand sewn plenty of leather, but never used a machine to make clothing, and figured I would start by making something smaller such as a jacket or vest.

What if I were to do the nearly unthinkable? Make a woolen 9 yarder as my very first sewing project.

I know it *could* end in catastrophe, but it wouldn't it be magnificent if I could pull it off.....
