Thanks for that Alan, I am a kiltmaker also, although I don't like it as a job because I can't support my family on just kilts, I have to contract sew and work part time in a bicycle shop, both jobs average about 10.00 hr gross. I can't afford a web site, advertising, etc. on those wages. I count on word of mouth. I also deal with some peaple who would like the order and then carp at the price. My prices are very competitive with most other kilt makers. If you want If you want top quality at a buget price, find some material on sale, spend 4.00 on needles and thread and make it your self! If you haven't noticed these same kilt makers offer a ton of free help to those on this board who ask, and that is time not sewing. They don't have to do that. Alan dos not have to spend 30-60 hrs writing his instructions, Steve, Rocky, Mat, Barb etc don't have to help at all but they do, but at what cost, time away from sewing, time away from family. So thats my .02. If you happen to see a Lemurian Kasual Kilts, it's one of mine. And thats why you wount see a lot of them.
