Any training available in England for wannabe kiltmakers?

Okay, to all and sundry, but especially the UK contingent, I absolutely love making kilts, and would really like to be able to do it to a professional level, but you know what it's like, where to get the training? I have stood for hours hand -sewing kilts for myself, a sporran as well, but there's a point at which I want more, better, I want to be doing it for real, do you understand?
The only thing I can find near me is a course for 'machine embroidery', which is great for decorating the front apron, but little else, anyone any ideas?

Barb T is, out in the non-ISH world, Barbara Tewksbury. So far as I know, this is THE STRAIGHT WORD on kilt making. Those of us here who make kilts (not me, not yet) all seem to regard this book as the "straight gee".

Scotland...the Keith Kilt School, I think is the only formal one, where Kathy Lare trained.
