Leftover tartan...what now?

[Beene]

I'll start off with a bit of advice...if you're a newbie (like I was/am) don't take a kilt to be altered to a tailor who has never seen a kilt. This wasn't a wool kilt, it was the polyviscose, but he screwed it up. I then purchased a new kilt, so I had the old one stuck in the closet.

Tonight I took a razor out and took out all of the seams, pleats, etc. Now I have a lot of tartan fabric and no idea whatsoever of what to actually do with it. Pillows? I'm pretty sure it wouldn't work as a fly, so I have no idea.

(BTW, yes I know I need a good wool kilt. Saving up takes time, unfortunately.)

Fire away. I look forward to suggestions.

Do you have enough material for a vest (waistcoat)?

[skauwt]

tartan scarf
some elastic to make hose cuffs (wouldn't use too much material )
handkerchief
cummerbund
tie
again most of these wouldn't use much material

Do you have enough fabric to make another short yardage Kilt? A Box-Pleated one perhaps.

Fabric, a needle, and some thread----and a bucketful of patience is all it takes.

Great Kilt? Might be fun.
All of the other ideas a splendid too.
