    A Kilt maker's helpers

    So, there I was trying to lay out some material for some baby kilts since my baby is taking a nap. I turn around for 2 seconds to reach for my tape measure and well...



    At least it was only a yard

    Anyone else have pictures of their little "helpers" caught in the act?

    Back when I used to have to use my bed as a cutting surface, I frequently had to fight my cat for the fabric. As shown here... the *entire* bed is open but my lovely Aries is asleep on the tiny folded square of fabric that I need to be using.

    Cats LOVE tartan

    I have a light grey and white cat...I can't tell you how many times I have to use a lint roller in the process of making a kilt made of Black Watch tartan!!

    Same here about the cat. She would always stroll to the center and then sit or lye down. Drove my wife nuts.
