    I found Barb's book very readable, and it made perfect sense to me......
    I will second that. I have not made my kilt yet, but have read through the book twice now and find it quite informative. I should mention that besides repairing the odd tear or missin gbutton, I have no sewing experience. Barb's book however was very informative. I am quite excited to start my kilt project soon.

    Now if only it didn't take two hours to get the kids to sleep at night.............

    My material is on order and I'll start with Barb's instructions as soon as I receive the cloth. No sewing experience at all. But I'm patient.
