Hello,

My son’s pipe band has about 2 yards of tartan left over from a bolt that they ordered for band kilts. I am looking for suggestions for what can be made with it for the band’s yearly...

No worries! I just wanted to make sure there wasn't anything I needed to do for such a thin, leggy dancer. Thanks!

Hello,

I am making a kilt for a tall, thin 15 year old dancer who attends the same dance school as my daughter. Before I get going I was wondering if there are any tips from anyone who is more...

When I was in a phonetics class in college the professor described the accent here as a tendency to "talk in the back of the mouth," so instead of using the tongue against the front of the...

SeumasA- I think individual members of the band are going, but the band as a whole isn't. My family would have gone, but we just got back from the East Coast less than a week ago.

The Grade II members of Wasatch and District Pipe Band out of Northern Utah recorded the pipes and drums for the audio on this song! My son plays in the Grade V, but his instructor and pipe major...

That turned out very well! You look lovely in it.

Have you gotten to wear it out yet?

I remember my husband watching this when it first came out, and wondering what in the world he had going on the television. I eventually came around, just like when we were dating and he had me...

So sorry for the loss of Isobel, it is so hard to lose a canine companion.

With the exception of the first six months of my married life my family has always had dogs. I will always be amazed by...

I am a pipe band mom, so I don't know if that counts! My son is eleven, he started when he was eight. He plays with Wasatch and District Pipe Band out of Bountiful Utah. ...

That sounds very fun! My husband would especially love the Craft Beer aspect of it since he is a home-brewer. Here in Utah we are very dry in more than one way!

I just put in an order for four yards, it will become my husband's first kilt!

I live in Utah, and we have people that dress in all different ways for our Scottish Festivals that we have here. There are many that wear a bodice/chemise/skirt like you are describing, some wear...

I love this thread because I am a Navy Brat, and lived in eight states before my dad retired. I love accents, and I am sad that it seems that regional accents seem to be declining. I lived in...

Thank you so much Barb and Kristof. I went back and forth on that for a while!

I am hoping someone with more experience can give me some pleating advice. I received the tartan for the kilt today and have been running through possible pleat scenarios in my head. It is 7 yards...

Thank you Barb! I don't think I would have ever tried making kilts if I hadn't found this forum.

Thank you! I didn't realize when I told my son he could learn pipes that it would mean I would be sewing kilts to avoid going broke. :)

Hello,

My 11 year old son's band kilt has now turned into a "mini-kilt" and since the kilt maker is backlogged I took it as divine intervention that it was time to start kilt #2. I am anxiously...

There must have been something in the air on the 15th. I put an order in and I'm jonesing, but it is for the Ancient Murray of Atholl plaid I ordered to make up into a kilt for my son! My fingers...

Excellently done, I am very impressed with the fact that it is hand sewn.

Yesterday was my son's birthday, and I was finally able to give him his knife! It arrived a week ago, and although painful I managed to keep myself from opening it (I really liked the way Terry had...

Terry Emailed today with pictures, and it goes into the mail tomorrow! I was sorely tempted to show him the pictures, but managed to resist. I will, however, post them here for you to admire with...

Alright, trying the pictures again!1610616107Hopefully they work this time. Unixken, your thread was what gave me the idea for the sgian in the first place!

I ordered a sgian from Terry for my son's birthday next month. I am getting very excited. The handle will be bog oak, with a red agate on the pommel. The carving is of a howling wolf (my son's...
