Did I just talk myself into making a MBP kilt in 24 days?
Unless you have made kilts before. This is my second attempt at a MBP kilt (and my third kilt) and it took 2 weeks just to baste the pleats. I have now sewn half of the pleats and that has taken 2 days, so 2 more to finish that. That rate of progress would leave you 6 days to finish the job.

It's worth the effort though. The military kilts have an awesome swing. (Even with lighter wools.)

In the longer term, this process will become easier as Barb's new book will have a chapter on making a MBP kilt.
