Barb's book is fantastic! I'm finishing up my first kilt following the book now, and while it's not perfect, I'm satisfied with my work so far.

I'm using the Hunting Stewart from here which is not the best material for it, but it wasn't bad for the price, for a first attempt.

Now I just need to get some 16oz MacEwen tartan

Robert, Southern Breeze, and Chasem,

Thanks for the responses. I will check out getting a copy of Barb's book tomorrow.

Robert, I have been looking over your site, and maybe my third paycheck of this month needs to go toward an rkilt! I am checking out the finances and will let you know.

Just remember that Barb's book is about the art of TRADITIONAL kilts.
The are of Contemporary kilts is another whole animal.
Unfortunatly everyone will have to wait till next year before the difinitive work
"The Art of Contemporary Kilts" is published.
It will cover modern fabrics, pockets, machine sewing, and the design features of the contemporary styles.
