What length should I make a kilt pin?

I am sure we would appreciate a photo of the finished piece Kirsty.

I can certainly post a photo when it's finished. You may even get to see it in person at some point as I stay in Bathgate and the wearer's from Mid Calder :0) Barbara and Alan in the Bathgate Kilt Studio were really helpful too with over all size and weight. I managed to scrounge some tartan offcuts from them to photograph my jewellery on and they've put me in touch with a lovely local dressmaker who is making me a black watch dress in a 50's style at the moment.

Kirsty,

Its great to hear that the local kilt studio in Bathgate were so helpful.

I have them ranging from the diaper pins to antique sterling silver... But none of them are no more than 4".
remember it to help hold down the apron as well as a fashion statement..LOL

Welcome Kirsty, from Toronto, Canada.

Good luck with your project. We all appreciate pictures of somebody's craftsmanship.

I would suggest 6.5 - 10cm for kilt pin length.
