    Just cut yourself a length of tartan, fold it in half, and then fold those halves in half, so that the cut edges are inside. Like this: (3

    (If you imagine that the ends of the 3 are contiguous with the paren, and the center stroke is lose) then sew along the open edge. That'll create a cord that won't ravel.

    Hmmm! That reminds me a little of how robes are sometimes belted with a piece of the same fabric made into the belt. That makes me wonder if the drawstring thing can be put on the outside of the kilt with loops and a built in belt. That might work with using it as a blanket. Thanks.
