I'm currently making my second kilt using The Book as a guide - and about to finish the first (one hand-sewn and one machine-sewn - need to have two projects always running).

The instructions are very clear, and I love the line drawings. Sometimes I wish I had the author handy to smack over the head when I pick a seam out for the third time, but that's of course because I'm not being accurate enough. Only perfect is perfect! But of course, there are many ways to make a perfect kilt, and Barb T.'s book is a very good way!

A kilt is relatively uncomplicated to make (I've discovered), but a lot of work. But if your hands are steady, your mind is tranquil and you don't mind learning by doing, I recommend making your own kilt. It's very rewarding.
