Tartan Choices

[BEEDEE]

from coastal North Carolina. The dress tartans are often considered more formal that the hunting, but it's really a matter of personal preference. If you have not made a kilt before, I would recommend getting a copy of Barb T's book from http://www.celticdragonpress.com/.

I concur with Brian. Also, you may want to make a "trial run" kilt in something that he likes in a fabric that is less expensive. That way you can pick up on the basic skills necessary. One choice is to make an X-kilt. The link to plans for an x-kilt can be found here among other places:
