    The description of the way to make a kilt is actually quite good in pointing out what to avoid - I love the reference to the large pleats which 'provide ampleness'.

    Thanks for posting the link. I haven't seen those instructions before and I found a new web source for sewing info!

    Only one criticism of the source. In the description of the kilt pin, the author mentions that the pin is used to attach the overlap with the underlap. Otherwise, top notch stuff.
