The in-laws came to town so the wife and I decided to take them to the local faire. I tried convincing my wife to make herself a costume a week ago to no avail and she was against my making a couple of kilts for my oldest and youngest as we are packing to move and she didn't want to waste the time. Yesterday resulted in a change of heart and I made a kilt, pleated to nothing, for my littlest on a machine in a couple hours. The oldest ended up with a fairy costume while the middle child already has a kilt which he's even worn to preschool. I wore my Muir tartan box pleat that John at Keltoi made 7or8 years ago now; I was surprised at the compliments I got on it considering there were a lot of kilts there and its fraying a touch around the edges.
