I'm blown away by the speed you manage to crank these things out. It takes me three times as long!

Alan I may be fast but I am not that meticulous. If I veer off a couple mm I usually just keep on sewing. I also tend to sew straighter at high speed. This time, just using a fine tip dress makers pencil saved me a lot of time. My granite kitchen counter is also perfect for marking and pinning a kilt. I figure I don't have a lot invested so if I screw it up I haven't lost anything but some time an fabric. Next I will be hand sewing a tartan kilt, just so I can say I did. O'Neille

Well....here's a question for you.....since you are getting so fast at this and you enjoy it, are you going to start selling them for $100 a piece as a money-making hobby on the side?

Nope! At $100 each I'd be selling my free time for much less than my regular job. I make them for wholly personnal reasons. My posts are purely for educational and motivational reasons; to get people who have the inclination to try making one and share their results. O'Neille

O'Neille,
That looks great. I don’t think you look like a ref at all; and even if you did, nothing wrong with that. I have a weird vision of you giving a red tartan card to some poor guy wearing his kilt backwards. "The Kilted Police, The Kilted Police"
Out of curiosity, is that an All blacks Jersey?
I hope to some day build my own, but I don’t know that I have the skills yet.

Nope it's a Guinness 2006 Official Beer of the Irish Rugby Team shirt. I do have an All Blacks Jersey around here somewhere as well as a New Zealand. Now you've made me go look. O'Neille

I have to agree with Bronxkilt, O'Neille. I don't think you look like a referee either - but if you think you do, it has to be the shirt that does it, not your black kilt. Actually, in my eye(s), I think that combination looks pretty stunning. You've got it just right - again!
