    Bravo! May I ask about how long it took to complete it? Also.. did you have much sewing experience prior? Again, nice job. He looks very proud to wear it.

    I usually take about two weeks. This one took three (very long) days. This is the third kilt I've stitched. He's pretty thrilled with it...
