Beautiful. That is one amazing tartan!

What size is the plaid?

[xman]

The plaid is 95cm² including fringe.

ChattanCat, those differences are only between the products of different weavers. The clan tartan is the same in both instances (allowing, as X-Man mentioned, for the different shades).
X-Man, I can’t wait to see what you do with those fabrics!

Mike

It's half done, Mike. Have a look up thread.

Brilliant work, X-Man! Sorry to hear about your cut thumb.
I know how long that can take to heal. Hope it doesn’t hold you up too much.
Regards,
Mike

Sorry to hear about your cut thumb.

forefinger actually and it still stings like a bigger whenever I tap it, but it appears to be bonding well so far.
I'll start back with some smaller odds and ends first and see how it copes with that before tackling a kilt.

[xman]

Tartan flashes were requested. No sewing (so far although I may try and tidy them up a little and that may or may not include some stitching) so the forefinger has been spared so far.

[Mike_Oettle]

You get tartan flashes and you get tartan flashes. I like these because they are uniform with each other, and show a saltire above some red patterning.
Regards,
Mike

Very nice! It is pleated so perfectly it took me a few moments to realize it was pleated at all! (That could be partly due to tired eyes, but it's still impressive to me!)

The red lining is a nice touch as well.

The next time I hear about a kilt-making class, you've inspired me to sign up; I want to be able to do that!
