What a fantastic thread. You guys are just amazing. I really must agree with the "Kilting is a tremenous confidence builder, isn't it!!". Its the old axiom If you creep about in a kilt you look silly if you stride about you look confident and then become confident. Look how kilt wearing has spilled over into the rest of our lives. Lets be honest there can't be many forums around that give men the confidence, the place and respect, to discuss sewing, pattern catalogs and how to keep your pleats looking good I proud to wear a kilt and I can make curtains.
