Cunningham kilt--big pics

[M. A. C. Newsome]

OFCJAX is right, 2 yards of double width fabric is enough for a box pleated kilt. On the other hand, if you and your brother want to split it, you could make two fly plaids from it. Or use it to make vests for each of you to match your kilt.

When I buy fabric for a kilt, I always buy the yardage I need for the kilt. If I make a 6 yard kilt, I buy 6 yards. Period. Double width or not. Usually, this means I get to make myself two kilts.
I point this out because that means I have, essentially, 6 yards of single width Dress Stewart up in my closet. I used it as a really thick fly this past ren faire season... for warmth on chilly Connecticut days.
Matt... you have now given me an idea. Mayhaps I will have my lovely bride try her hand at producing me a doublet from the extra Dress Stewart I have. It should go quite nicely with the Dress Stewart kilt I made for myself back in February '07.


As for the Cunningham kilt this thread discusses... I find that tartan to be very nice looking. I also find that the Grandma in question must be one great Grandma.
