Making the kilt

[chasem]

I assume you're going for a wool tartan kilt, based on the pattern you mentioned? I'd skip that and pick up Barb Tewksbury's book, The Art of Kiltmaking. It's a bit more involved, but for good reason. If you're halfway decent with a needle (as in, you're at least able to sew a button), you should be able to follow her book to put together a very respectable kilt
