    An excellent first attempt. Good for you for for giving it a try. Looks good and the look on your son's face speaks volumes about how much he likes it and that is worht a great deal. keep up the good work. You will improve with each one you make.

    Looks good Rygar, and the Ham pose is great. And good on you for trying a small kilt with cheap materials and equipment first. Better spend a few bucks to find out if making kilts is for you than to buy an expensive sewing machine and material and decide after that you are not up to the task.

    Very cool, you've inspired me to make my son his first kilt.

    UNBELIEVABLE!

    No one can say enough about your wee-un's "Hamish." Simply awesome!

    And he wears the kilt so well.

    Kudos to you and your boy. Now, if only I can get my (9 and 10 year old) boys to wear kilts and my (4 year old) daughter to stop saying "I like your skirt, Daddy." Oh, from the mouths of babes.

    Its a great experience for your son to see dad going through the work to make a kilt for him. Making clothes is getting to be a lost art, even for women (my wife had a sewing machine when we got married, but didn't know how to use it until I showed her), and I can look back to many early childhood experiences watching my Dad, Mom, and Grandparents make things which spawned my desire and ability to get crafty. It has really come in handy at times.
