Thanks Cyndi, think we were posting at the same time. Some great ideas.

I'm also a jean jacket addict, have 8 of them. One a Pendleton with that type of back insert. Was just looking at a Lands End shirt in dress Macdonald tartan that I've outgrown. Was wondering how I could use the fabric. Nice hatband, hair band etc...then realized I'm stuck in girlie girl land again if what these guys are saying that "dress" tartans are for women's dresses only.

I'd thought that "dress" meant for dress up, fancy occasions etc. Never occured to me that it was only for the ladies.

I'm learning more than I ever wanted to know.

Maybe I should cut up the sash that fits since I can't wear it now. Use it for these ideas.

Appreciate the cool suggestions.
