Alan,

A few of us Professional kiltmakers (read starving sewing machine operators) want you to figure up your total cost on that kilt.

Use the current minimum wage X no. of hours you spent + cost of materials.

Then add a couple of side slash pockets, a couple of rear welt pockets and figure again.

include the time you spent scratching you head, the time you spent sitting and just looking at the thing, the time you spent ripping out and re-sewing, the time you spent talking to others, asking questions, and posting on the progress.

Please post your answer and shock everyone.
