Take Bubba's advise. Eventhough I've made a load of kilts, I'm in the middle of intensive instruction by four retired Scottish Certified Master Kiltmakers in New York. Even after I finish my schooling, I'll STILL have to serve an apprenticeship in order to get my "stripes". Anyone can learn to make what looks like a kilt. It's not a big deal, and there's PLENTY of proof out there. Learning all the tricks and traditions in making a proper kilt (in the eyes of those who really know) ain't something that you can get in a month either.

In order to make a REAL NICE kilt, you really should snag Barb's book. I have it, and it's really clear, concise, and correct. Plus, if you have any questions... we know where the author is!
