I've just ordered the Art of Kiltmaking (rightly described as the Bible of Kiltmaking???), because I want to learn to make my own kilts. Is there anything I should keep in mind when using the book? I don't have any practical knowledge of sewing, but I have an aunt who will be helping me who does. I'm looking for all of the tips I can get. For example, I want to try using 11 oz PV for my first kilt as an inexpensive trial run... is this a good idea?
