Making the kilt

[gwynng]

I'd definitely skip the Folkwear pattern. It kind of sucks. Barbs book is fantastic. It is good enough that my first kilt is still one I wear with frequency. In other words, Barb and Elsie tell you how to make a kilt that is proper and totally wearable (with pride even).

As far as the sporran goes, I once stumbled across instructions for making a horse hair sporran. Don't remember where, but my google search was probably basic like "sporran pattern" or "how to make a sporran". I didn't make one, but the instructions looked extensive, so perhaps good.
