Joining in from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

I am pleased to be joining such an auspicious group of ne'r-do-wells (at least from the few comments I have read so far)

Google search led me here after a friend recently suggested I sew up a kilt. He was admiring some of the vests I have sewn from recycled blue jean material and thought a kilt might be in order. At first I thought it was a daft idea but he suggested I could likely get instructions online. A quick search resulted in me coming across Steve's excellent plans for the X-kilt. Bottom line? at least some of my activities this upcoming winter are now set - sewing an X-kilt on the 1956 Singer 191B sewing machine which was my mother's first sewing machine. Bring on the first pleat!

Welcome to you from Windsor ON. Have fun on your first kilt journey!

As do I. Well said.

I know my ancestors would be pleased to see how much more of an opportunity I got than they did. I know they would be pleased that their sacrifices were not in vain. I wish they could've seen it.

The biggest flattery for any parent is to see their children get a better go at the world than the parents did. It's what every parent wants.
