    You can get a pattern at walmart. Go through their pattern books, I've found one there before.

    My (admittedly limited) experience is that a kilt does not need a pattern per se, such as a shirt or frock coat does, it is basically a simple garment, in the sense that it is a piece of fabric pleated to fit. The devil is in the details! Suggest you get a good book on the subject, such as Barbara Teweksbury's (link follows) http://www.celticdragonpress.com/ study it and go from there. Always remember that patience can be largely substituted for skill.
