Jimmy, I appreciate the offer, but it really isn't worth the bother. I don't have much tied up in it at all. The fabric wasn't expensive and I do have another kilt in that fabric, I'm just hunting leather for the straps. Yeah, I cut my own straps too. I can let this one go to a good cause for local charity.
Rigged, sorry about that. Too much blood in my caffine system yet.
The kilt I'm working on now is heavy enough that I'll be doing alot of hand stitching. 15 oz wool gets pretty thick in the pleating. Should keep me occupied for awhile. After the medical bills get caught up I just might be able to buy a couple professionally made kilts instead of wearing my fingers to the bone.
