Hand Sewn: Be All End All

[Moosedog]

Dream kilt:

Tartan: Robertson Hunting
Weight 16 ounce 8 yards
Two straps
Knife-pleated to the red stripe
Made to measure by a friend

WAIT!!! I already have my dream kilt! A Wally Catanach original! I'll have to start dreaming again.

Perhaps an IOS to the sett? Or perhaps some of that Hudson's Bay tartan will come into my life--I have a peculiar attraction to that one.

I have been dreaming about lighter kilts these days, so perhaps my next project will be to sew the County Cavan I have into a five yarder or a box pleat for fall hiking. But somehow the dream is not as good when I do the sewing (laughing.)

My dream kilt is on order and it took me a loooong time to decide on it. I was in a great position in that it was paid for by others as a gift so I could go to town.

Tartan: Ancient Hunting Thomson
Weight 16 oz Strome
Yardage: 8..... probably more like 7 as I'm a 32" waist
Pleated: to sett
Why: I am a Thomson and out of the 7 or 8 Thomson tartans available, this was my favourite. I love the "hunting muted" but it appears to only come in 13oz.

I have no real intentions (yet) of buying another kilt but if I do it'll be either the aforementioned Thomson Hunting Muted, Duncan (mothers side) or Isle of Skye.
