    Just got my paypal invoice for 8 yards of XMTS.com Tartan Fabric from the Wizard.




    Looks like there's another on the chopping block for a later date.

    Spare time? HA! I wish I had some more spare time.

    And just a shameless plug for Steve at Freedom Kilts. I was in contact with him recently about ordering some XMTS.com Tartan Fabric. He's a class act. Not only is he probably not making much, if ANY money on this stuff, but he's good enough to take time out of running a business to do so. I received my invoice, and mere moments later had a tracking number for my package. If that's any indication whatsoever as to his level of service, I can't wait until I can chock up the bones to order one of his kilts.

    ....Of course, if I'd stop offering to make kilts for other people, and then using the money they give me for supplies to buy more supplies, I might be closer to that goal.

    Small update for everybody. I'm a little bit behind schedule. This week has been... trying...

    Last night I top-stitched the inside of the pleats on my step-dad's kilt. I then sewed in a stabilizer for my step-brother's kilt. I started messing with canvas, but had some major problems. It seems it's rather hard to stitch to thin poly/cotton material without it showing through. Still trying to decide if I should try again, or just skip the canvas in the aprons. The pleats don't really need it, so I might just line it and call it a day - in which case it's 99% done.

    Still have the wife's black box-pleat and the pooch's box pleat.

    My material should be here today around noon. I also get off at noon but have a fairly full schedule for the rest of the day.

    Sorry, no pictures.
