    How to Sew a Kilt

    NOT!

    OUCH. I mean, somebody really should clue this guy in. I've only read The Book twice now, but already I know this is just wrong on so many levels.



    In fact I think I'll go back there right now and see if I can't nudge him in the right direction.

    My sincere hope is that what he truly means is "How to make a costumey 'Braveheart' type object, that vaguely resembles a kilt".

    Okay...if you had to make a whole bunch of "kilts" in a hurry for a high school production of Brigadoon...and they were for the chorus members who were going to be just standing around and NOT moving...maybe....

    But have mercy....I'd bet the guy never saw a real kilt before or he'd at least do SOME of it correctly. This also seems to assume that your waist and your arse are exactly the same size, eh?

    That isn't real wool he's using, is it?

    Well, that thing will suffice for a cheezy costume...as long as he wears some type of undergarment and/or avoids all air currents, sitting, walking, deep breathing, etc.

    I am by no means an expert, but I'm probably more qualified to pilot a space shuttle than he is qualified to instruct anyone on kiltmaking.

    By the way, was that the MacWalmart or MacKaymart tartan?

    I noticed this video just recently. I was watching for only 30 sec. and it was enough for me.

    It took four people to make that nonsense. Can anybody identify that noise that is playing in the background?

    Regards

    After watching that I really don't know what to say other than it's wrong on so many levels.
