Design your own tartan

[McClef]

There are online sites which allow you to design your own tartan which can be fun but expensive if you decide to go ahead.

http://www.house-of-tartan.scotland.net/

is one such site and it details the costs involved for setting the pattern, registration with the Tartans Authority and for producing a kilt in that tartan.

At least you can end up with a free custom made tartan wallpaper for your computer!

The best way to do it is by coordinating with extended family (kith and kin) to both spread out the cloth and increase the total purchased yardage, making it more affordable than a custom one 4 yard (box) or 6-8 yard knife kilt.

I am working with some cousins on a Wages family tartan (as far as I can tell there is no "head" of the family to approve such an endevor).

Word of warning-> more people involved, more people you have to please, more time and "negotiation" it will take to get the final product.
