You're not foolin' me. That picture was taken months ago.

I'd suggest The Art of Kilt Making, but ... heh ... I doubt your postal delivery is very good there, especially at this time of year.

Stay healthy, eh!

Welcome.

I usually introduce myself as a Whidbey Islander now in the middle of nowhere. Sir...you have me beat a million times over!!!!!!!!!!!

Even if it doesn't turn out great, a kilt made from a Navy parachute(I was a Sailor) in Antarctica would have such an amazing story behind it that it would be worth a million bucks per stitch! Make a patchwork out of it if you have to! I would love a piece of it(the chute, not the kilt) so PM me when you can! I've been to six continents and have seen the Antarctic coast twice. Since I never got to set foot on it I'd love to have a piece of something else Navy that did!

Good luck!!!

Welcome to XMTS, your just a little bit south of me

. I dont' know if you have a kilt pattern or if you are going for a modern or traditional style. If you google X Kilt, you can download a pdf that gives excellent instructions on how to make a modern kilt, with cargo pockets, if you want them. All the best while your down there and don't send your cold weather to us.

You're right that was months ago. The last physical contact with the rest of the world left in early March. Next post isn't scheduled until September.
Here's a more accurate picture
