Sash making?

[OKSooner]

By my estimates, it would take somewhere around 2-3 yards of tartan to run the length of a sash. If you already have the tartan, you could find a pattern online or at a local fabric store. If you don't have it yet, it my be worth your while buying a finished one. Good tartan runs a wide array of prices. For the tartan you are looking for, I found it for around $75-85 USD/yrd. Aside from the expense, there is also the tedium of hand fringing the ends. I found a made to order sash offered in Wallace Dress Blue for about $116 USD online. But that doesn't count shipping. But then again, I'm lazy. So what seems like a good idea to me, might not to you.

If you can tell me, where do you find one at that cost?

I think this may be one of those times when we are tripping over words.

To most people the words Ladies Sash could mean anything from a very small shoulder sash about 5" X 24" to a short sash about 9" X 54" also worn draped over one shoulder, up to a long sash about 11" X 110"worn over one shoulder and pinned at the opposite hip.

If you are talking about a sash worn by a man you are usually talking about a pipers sash. These are huge and take almost as much fabric and time to make as a kilt.

I could help a bit more if you could describe a little better what it is you are looking for. Do you have, or know of, any pictures of what you are looking for?

The short sash you described is the ideal, though I am open to the other two as well as a scarf made with the Wallace Dress Blue tartan.

Now bear in mind that the price above doesn't include shipping. Also, though this site may not be the best of the best, I have bought a couple of kilts from them and have been pleased with what I bought.
