Sewing instructions? What are those? Try X-Kilt instructions instead! I hear they're stickied in the DIY section now.

Be well,

Welcome to XMarksheScot. Oregon is a big state and there a few other Oregonians on this site, also.

So do I have this right? Kiltmaking, your new found obsession, is a healthy thing, but your longstanding addiction to collecting watches is unhealthy?

Congrats on the weight loss and all that does for lifestyle enhancement. More congrats on the beginning of your kiltmaking adventures...

I may be wandering up to the Portland Games in mid-July.

(who doesn't like pockets... and they don't like me, either... good thing traditional kilts don't have any...)
