Clip on how a Kilt is made

I am new to the forum, but found a nice little youtube video on how a Kilt is made if there is anyone like me that like knowing what they are wearing.

Couldn't finish - the breakbeat music was making me cross-eyed

Sorry, That soundtrack is terrible. I had to dump out after just a few seconds.

Which is why my computer speakers are always off, only turned on when I choose!

I thought it was a pretty cool video. The music was sort of Rare Air-ish so it wasn't all bad !

Welcome to Xmarks and thanks for the posting.

I'd like to see comments from our resident kilt makers as to the quality they see/do not see in the video.
Is that canvas stout enough for a tank?

Not a guide for how to make a kilt that I would choose to wear. I wonder how she would describe what style of pleating she employs: I can't pick it. It does have some regularity to it, sure, so it's not even pleated to the nothing.

And I wonder what the weight of the fabric is. It must be pretty light, if you can sling in a doubled-over hem.

Well, I suppose you could knock up one of these before lunch, and make another skirt out of the other half in time for dinner.

I also found this video difficult to watch. I am making my first kilt for my four year old grandson. I have a wonderful teacher, Marion in Perthshire http://askivalofstrathearn.co.uk/
It is certainly a labour of love!
