Hey Y'all,
I have been following this board for about three weeks now while researching how to make my own kilt.

I am a Boy Scout leader in the Piedmont Triad area of No. Carolina and am interested in eventually making a kilt in the MacLauren tartan. (The Boy Scouts have a strong connection to MacLauren and the Advanced Adult leader training neckerchief - Wood Badge - is the Maclauren tartan.)

I have bought some inexpensive, "almost" sold color fabric and just received my copy of "The Art of Kiltmaking" (Thanks to Matt Newsome for getting it to me so quick. ONE DAY SERVICE!!)

I am taking pics and will post my progress soon.

By the way, I don't usually join boards. I just glean the info from them. But after following you all for the past three weeks feel like this is genuinely a positive and encouraging "family". I look forward to making new friends with all of you.

If there is anyone in my area, I would enjoy meeting with you, getting advice on making and wearing a kilt, etc.

Rob
