    I have Material!

    Ok, I've got 4 yards of Pride of Scotland tartan on its way! I'm going to attemp to sew my own mini-kilt. I bought the fabric from The Frugal Corner. At $9.75 a yard for 13oz. material, I couldn't resist. It's probably gonna get mangled anyways. As soon as it gets here I'm gonna get started. I'll post pictures of the progress, if you can really call it "progress." Wish me luck!

    The little so & so hacked my Pay Pal Account to pay for the order I'm glad Frugal had such a good price. This could have been expensive

    If this is the men's department, where are the kilts?

    Hahaha. I have to watch my plastic when Nikki get's the sewing machine to singing. But, she doesn't make me kilts (yet anyway, she's not confident enough to attempt.) She makes a lot of pillows and drapes...

    Odd,

    Usually Beth rolls her eyes when she sees me pricing fabric. We tend to run into the thousands of dollars when I get on a tear.

    Good Luck on your solo flight, Dirka. Get it done by the 27th, OK? I want to see it in person.
