Well I got the fabric on my last JoAnns trip the other day. I just could not wait. Got it all set, I will put needle to it in the a.m. Maybe I'll be done in time to wear it to work. If not My birthday is in a couple of days, of course I will have to test drive it first.......




Hello my name is Aaron......I am a Kiltaholic......And damn proud to be!

Oh, that is simply beautiful. Please keep us updated

That's quite nice! Would love to see the results! Good luck and have fun!

I've got the same fabric but I'm planning to make knife pleats. It's always interesting to see the difference, though you'll likely have worn yours out before I even finish mine.

Beautiful fabric! I'll have to check out JoAnns (I usually wind up at Hancocks, it's several miles closer)

Celtic cowboy!

I hope you haven started sewing yet!? You should turn your tartan. The twill line should run from upper left to down right. Basicly you are working on wrong side of fabric.

Yea I saw that when I started. However I do not always stick to the "rules" as I am pretty sure my Highland ancestors were not always spot on when kilting up. I just liked the way it looked, I am sure the kilt police will forgive me. But thanks for watching out.

I think we'd agreed that the weave lines go one way simply due to manufacturing errors on the back side.

There is no right/wrong side per se.

And as celtic cowboy rightly mentioned, im sure the original kilt wearers/weavers wore their garments not precisely thinking about whether the fabric was right/wrong side out when laying on the ground pleating/folding their great kilts, hehe

good looking material by the way, shame we dont have JoAnne in the Louisville Metro area, the one large fabric store closed a few weeks ago (Baer's) and Hancock Fabrics doesnt carry anything worth mentioning

That's gonna be sharp!

I'm not the member of kilt police for sure. Just noticed that's all.
Happy sewing and let the kilt serves you well.
