[quote]the kiltmaking part of the instructions aren't very detailed. Hard to really explain all the ins and outs when you're constrained to the back and front of one large sheet of pattern directions! Lots of places carry it. Here's one: http://www.earthguild.com/products/f...r/folkwear.htm

I agree and am seriosly considering Barbs book. cause as a novice sewer I get confused as to where to start after reading the folkwear pattern and still cant work out how to do the math on how deep, how many,pleats i need to fit a kilt my size. Barbs book will cost me around $50 - $60 australian to get but from reading everyones posts its worth every cent. ( and I'm hoping for an Autographed one)
priced a kilt in melbourne, and they wanted $1,000 for a traditional (tank as Jimmy calls them) OUCH
