If you look at Bear's website, he is working on something similar. He has a link called, "make a Bear Kilt", but when you click on it it says:

"For those of you interested in making your own kilt, I've decided to help you get started with instructions on making the easiest kilt to make, a Bear Kilt.

I'll post the full instructions as soon as I've finished writing them, adding pics, etc.
I'm also considering selling Bear Kilt-making kits, including your choice of tartan, a pleating pattern for that tartan,Velcro, etc. Any input would be appreciated."


This seems to be a great way to get into kilt making, and I may try it when Bear gets everything finished.
