Inexpensive Tartan Material
For anyone interested.........I have been searching the online fabric stores trying to find inexpensive fabric in wool or a wool blend, because I want a solid green kilt, and can't find one anywhere. In my search, I found a store in Canada that sells a tartan fabric that is 65% polyester and 35% combed cotton, at $ 11.98 per yard. They have some tartans in stock and can special order a list of limited other tartans, at a minimum of 15 yards at $9.98 per yard. Just so happened, they have my tartan on the list of special ordered tartans. In other words, I can buy my tartan at $9.98 per yard but have to buy a minimum of 15 yards. If, I do, I will have a great kilt made.
The website is www.sewfancy.com and if you look, click onto
Heirloom and Children's Fabric, then scroll down to Tartans.
I am not rich by no means and just can't afford to buy from a Scottish store. I can have sportkilt.com make me a kilt for $ 98.00 if I supply the material.
Does anyone know anything about Amerikilts.com ? They are listed, but, I can't seem to get any reply from them whenever I try to contact them. They have on their website a green kilt for under $100.00. But since I have apparently been ripped off by over $300.00 from clansmanknitwear, I will not do business with anyone anymore who will not reply to emails or phone calls when I try to get information concerning their products. Clansman said it would take 8 to 12 weeks to get my order. Honestly, if I don't have my order in my hands, by the 31st of this month, I will report them to my bank as being a fraudulent buisiness.
