Cunningham Tartan at JoAnn's Fabrics

I bought some of the Black Watch the other day but returned it upon realising it only weighed in at a whopping 9oz.... *grumble grumble* Also a bit frustrating that the bolt was 43 inches wide; had to buy like I was buying single width knowing I would end up with a LOT of extra fabric from my 8 yarder I had in mind... Oh well!

Hopefully the fabric you bought will come in a bit heavier... I just didn't feel comfortable wearing such a light kilt for my first one...

Did you notice that the Stewert Black had a some metallic thread in it???

No metallic thread. It was polycotton, probably 9 or 10 oz. like you found.

Hmm... I'm a little jealous... I first spotted the Stewert Black but the one here had a metallic thread in it so I picked up the Black Watch...

Use the extra to make a pleated skirt for your significant other. Same pattern and technique as the X-kilt just set the apron to open the other way.

I bought some of their Black Watch because my wife promised to make me a sporran with it. I'm going back tonight to see if there's any more "sporran-worthy" material I "must" have. I'll post pictures when it's done, but it might be a while. She's got several sewing projects ahead of it and her machine won't be back from repairs until next week.
