Well, when I was in junior high, all the guys had to learn how to sew. Didn't like it at the time, but now I'm grateful.
I've done mostly costumes with my sewing, but the ones I made when I worked at the Renaissance Festival were well constructed.
I did make my wife a fancy dress when she was expecting our first and we couldn't find anything suitable for the company dinner-dance.
So, I did have a bit of experience in sewing before I tried making my first kilt. It came out well, but I never really finished it. And now, I need to take it in about 6 inches before I can wear it.

I still can't sew... I just have Kelly do all the orders and I pretend I did them to take the credit!

I also had to learn how to sew while in high school and loved it. As a child, my mother always let me help her with sewing projects and it's something that I've retained. I'm not the neatest sewer, but can be if I make myself take the time to do it properly.
The other night must have been quite amusing at my house, as my fiancee was knitting and I was doing some repair work on a PV kilt. For two people who used to be hell raising bar crawlers just a few years ago, it was quite a change!
