First off, I want to let you know just how much I appreciate all the work you've put into making this manual. I've wanted to get a kilt for quite some time, but the cost of purchasing one always deterred me. I can't wait to start making an X-kilt of my own, although I'll need to borrow some my mother's sewing experience, at least for the first time. I had one question though, and I wasn't sure where I should post it. Please forgive me if this is a bad spot.

In the manual, you recommend using Cotton/Poly twill. I found Cotton twill at a local Jo-Ann's shop, and I'll probably have them order in some of the Cotton/Poly blend. However, it seemed that the material I was looking at was rather thin and light. Is this normal? I'm mainly concerned about how well the kilt will stay down, as I don't want gusts of wind to blow it up.

Thanks in advance, I'm looking forward to getting started,
Kirika
