Father Bill, Happy Anniversary to you and your lovely wife!

Wishing you many wonderful, loving years ahead!

For quite a few years I've been making box pleated kilts for the Scottish Tartan Museum.

I use one strap and buckle on the outside and don't make a strap hole. On the inside, I always do Matt's...

Happy Birthday, Steve!

Wishing you a wonderful year ahead!

Right now I have 3 yards 5 inches of double width Stewart Hunting Weathered Lochcarron Strome 16 oz.

If you're interested, please let me know

My parents who have Scottish roots gave me the name Bonnie Heather....

When I make 5 yard kilts, I don't do pleat cut-outs and I don't make a straphole.

I do the inner construction the way I do on 4 /5 yard box pleated kilts..... waist stabilizer, steeking and

Happy Birthday, Father Bill !
Hope you had a lovely day and wish you a wonderful year ahead!

It's a lovely thing that you want to restore this kilt that your mother made. If you need help on that, I'd be happy to give it the TLC it deserves. I've done hundreds of kilt alterations and...

I wish I had seen you, Nile! I was there, but in Foy Hall, participating in the highland dance competition.

After it was over, I walked around for a while, enjoying the beautiful day, the music...

Since I'm a lady and make things with tartan every day, I'm very interested in this topic.

People have asked me about tartan garments for women in that time period, especially because of their...

There's no rise on these mini-kilts. But the pleats do have some taper.

I measured the "low waist" for each person at the level of 1" below the belly button. Also I took the seat/hip measurement. ...

I love making kilts for kids and would be happy to help out !

Wishing you a very happy birthday, Mike!

My brother, Bruce Greene (a quiet and modest person) went up into the mountains of North Carolina in the late 60's / early 70's, visiting old time fiddlers, learning from them and tape recording...

Love them all !! You go, girls !!

The first kilt I made was for myself, and my teacher said to make it the same way as for a man's kilt. So I learned to make kilts fastened on the right. Most highland dancers these days are female...

Surprised to see that this group photo (including me) was in the Daily Record, UK. (in the gallery near the end)
It was from New York Tartan Week on Ellis Island. There was a pirate theme, highland...
