    There is a BIG problem on this forum. We have too many skilled craft persons. These highly skilled craft persons take a complicated process, taking multiple yards of cloth and turning it into a work of art and make it look simple. But isn't this the definition of a craft person?

    It is like a fine race car even when admired up close you don't know or really understand all the time, effort and parts that go into it. The same is true for kilt there is a lot of effort that goes into one that most of us don't understand.

    What is great is that these skill craft persons are so willing to help others learn and forgive our mistakes before we make them.

    If you want to make your own - first order Barb's book, second while waiting read every thing on the web about kilt making. Don't believe every thing, but, read it for different points of view and to help ease the jonesing while waiting for Barb's book. Third take out a third mortgage on your house. As said above the kilt is only the beginning of the addiction.

    Just kidding, but not about jacket of course.
