Well, I don't want to go on record as offering my services to X-Markers for $$$, you know? I'm not interested in competing with our good site vendors.

girlfriend Jamie is the barmaid at the Brewery, and a real sweetheart she is, but she'd never buy a tartan skirt. So if I make one for her, I'm not robbing anybody of business. Ditto for Lora the heartthrob. Damaris has a SportKilt Black Watch skirt, but as far as I know that's the only tartan skirt she owns and she's shown no inclination to rush out and buy more. The F-H.C.A.G owns a nifty loud MacLeod miniskirt from sportkilt, but I think she's likely to stitch up her own, now, rather than buy more. So once again I'm not stealing a sale from one of our vendors.

BTW, these are all approximately 3-yard skirts.

If this tartan were MacNaughton I'd just make a killer pleated skirt for the Luminous Joan, and then she'd have it for the unspeakably rare occasion when she might possibly wear it............but it's not.

I think what I might do is make a nice 5-yard skirt and a Lindsay vest for Kathy and Lisa, the other two members of my band that played at Burns Night so that they have something to wear at our Celtic gigs.
