Hello,

I am here because I have got very interested in making my own kilt. The challenge of constructing a garment that is about engineering as much as art appeals to me. I like the more contemporary kilts like the skilt and the utilikilt, because I am very fond of garments with pockets.

I am in Yorkshire, but like many in England I have some ancestors from over the border, apparently our ancestors had a castle somewhere in Scotland, but like most, the money is at another end of the family, or gone altogether!

So hello to everyone, and I am sure I will be asking a lot of questions and doing a lot of reading on here before I embark on my own first kilt.
