Pretty soon

I'll be moving in to my fabrics and fibres portion of school. Soon. Very soon.

I am so looking forward to that. I love love love fabrics and fibres. I don't know why, but I have a fixation with them.

Something tells me I am going to totally rock that section of my studies.

Fixated on fabrics and fibers?

Alliteration too, it seems!

Rock the schooling, Dread!

Ace it Dread!

You'll do great Dread. It seems like this is somethng that you've really dedicated yourself to. I hope the history of the sewing machine went well too.

Keep up the good work Dread.

Way to go Laddie! I know that you will do well! Soon, we may be seeing the Dreadbelly Kilt!

**Tattoo Bradley** · 17th March 07, 07:28 AM

You're gonna do great Dreadster.

**Warlock** · 17th March 07, 07:37 AM

Get ready for the DREADBELLY KILT! I WANT one!

I really don't know if I will become a "kilt maker" to be honest. Why limit my self?

I'd like to wake up and do something new every day. I do have a bit of a plan making garb and what not to sell at the ren faires.

I need to get studying on the sewing machine stuff. I have the book. Need to make time and get to looking.

I do have idea for kilts though. Odd ideas maybe, stuff that will really push the boundries of what a kilt is. I believe I could make an air conditioned kilt that uses passive evaporation through the use of clever fabrics that would be a good 5 to 10 degrees cooler under the kilt than the outside ambient temp. I also have ideas on tropical weight kilts and how to have the wind pass through the kilt and cool rather than pass around the kilt and lift it.

And then there is my whole Hawaiian Jacobite shirt thing. Ah yeah. Or maybe a leather Jacobite Shirt. Bamboo. Soy Silk. Hemp. Hemp and silk blends.

Of course, no matter how you try, I will not talk about the Elvis Kilt I have rattling around inside me skull.
