im really broke. i just barely was able to afford the fabric and thread. (i lost the thread somwhere in my house have to find it!)lol

I really don't want to sound snarky, but I think you really might need to re-examine your priorities.

look. im 17. i still live with my folks and will till after next year. im still looking for a job since i was laid off because it was seasonal. im doing the best i can, with what i got. im sorry if that offends you somehow, but its not your problem ok? i dont want to sound mad, but im taking this one step at a time.

All the kilt makers on this forum.

Note esp, the edges of the apron and the angles of the front side pleats.
DO NOT skip on the underapron pleat, it WILL be missed if you don't do it.

I STILL push Barb's book, if can fork over the $30 to one who sells it. It is MUCH better than any of the linked sites above in both detail, helpfulness, and completeness.

Hi Kilt man with Sword,
I can completely understand how frustrating things can get. I made my first kilt of corduroy a bit ago and got compliments on it (real or trying to make me feel good, I don't know. In any case, I made the kilt, after reading all kinds of instructions and getting ideas, from this web site exclusively: http://www.scottishdance.net/highland/MakingKilt.html
I pondered, schemed, woke up in the night trying to figure how to do this and that for at least 30 or 40 hours, THEN I went at it with the material, a package of bent safety pins and in 8 hours had the kilt. Go for it man, any thing you make will make you better then second time you try it. You will learn so much more do than pondering like I did.

Good on ya for even trying. Making a kilt the first time is no easy thing.
I agree that you will learn more by trying than by pondering. Give it a go. Don't be discouraged if you have to rip out stitching. It goes with the territory.
