I am considering purchasing the Art of Kiltmaking and am curious as to the experiences (good, bad or just plain ugly) anyone else has had with the book.

Based on everything I've read here at Xmarks I've already presumed that the book is excellent and a worthy purchase so that's not my angle at all.

What I'm wondering is if it's geared towards someone like me with just rudimentary sewing experience (i.e. simple darning, button sewing, seam repair and a middle school home economics class which included sewing pillows. The latter example was some time ago - I'm 48).

I'd love to attend a Kilt Camp but my funds and time constraints prevent that for the time being.

I guess I'm asking if it's something that even I can follow along to and, with some work and attention to detail, come out with a nice kilt.

Thanks in advance!

Mark
