Kilt Waist & Tummy measurements
Hi there, I have been on this site lots over the last year and never get around to posting.
I have really been struggling. I have made my first Kilt, a Weatherred Maclean of Duart military pleat number. I think though, I may be a freak. I have a waist of 36 and hips of 38. I assumed that I had misread and had various people confirm this. Barb's book doesn't seem to allow for such freak like measurements. I can't decide if it because I have a huge belly (which I really don't!) or no bum at all!
How on earth do you share the measurements?
When I wear my sporran it seems to give me a funny little pokey out belly thing over the sporran strap which I never see in anyone elses photos. Have I not backed the kilt with thick enough canvas or something?
I wish Barb did kilt making seminars over here in England...does anyone know of anyone else who might instead?
Cheers
Andrew Maclean
