    Hello from NM

    Greetings, stumbled upon this forum when researching kilts. I recently picked up a kilt from SWK. Really like it, but for hiking I wanted something a little different. More like a UK, so long story short found the manual for making an X-Kilt. (Thank you Alan H). I have a little experience sewing from upholstering a couple of cars, so I took a crack at it. I used 4 yards of 4 bucks a yard of a cotton poly blend. Next time I think I need to pay better attention to the taper(or lack of it) at the top. I welcome any advice.

    Anyhow, I found thumbing through this forum a great help even before I picked up the tread. Thanks much.

    There are a few of us. There was a fellow around the forums for a bit from Ruidoso. Haven't seen him in sometime though. There've been a few here and there from Albuquerque as well. Anyhow, welcome again and enjoy.
