Karla, Fabulous news, This does make me feel good. It seemed as if there were places where the kilt looked as if it had been uneven and sewn up. That was another reason I thought it had been hacked up. Anyway, if it is uneven that should make it slightly easier to find thread for reweaving (I hope). I was always told to keep the bottoms of trousers that had been hemmed for reweaving should the case arise.

It was the left belt I thought had been moved over to make the kilt larger. Well, that belt looked as if it had been resewn! Any ideas about that?

Don't bother with replacing the muslin.

Any idea on about how old this kilt is? My guess is about 40 years.

Chattancat, this is the kilt I mentioned to you. Sorry the tartan wasn't Chattan.

Thank you all!
