Make a Kilt Weekend: a proposal

**Marshal Moroni** · 16th March 08, 09:14 PM

Alan H,

My sewing skills do not exist, however, my Darling Wife smiled ever so sweetly when I read her your post.

I think this means I might get to come!

Any idea about where a good source of fabric might be??? I'm in the Los Angeles area, and am certain we've got to be able to do better than the local Joann Fabric store.

Any suggestions gladly accepted (I don't mean to hijack the thread, just looking for a way to participate).

Cheers,

Marshal Moroni

I’m in, too. (Sheesh, Alan, you plan farther out than I do...)

Oh, dear! Those colors would clash mightily with my Death by Pink kilt! Maybe you could get the Wizard of BC to send another 2.5 yards of matching camouflage fabric.

I believe L.A. has a “garment district” similar to New York City’s, and fabric outlets that rival the other city, too.

Indeedy they does, been there, done the shopping too. Just make sure you ask at the door if they have wool first, it'll save you a ton of time.

CT - awesome pinstripe for $5/yd ...
