Hi folks
I stay in Tullibody, Clackmannanshire, and am new to sewing and the forum. So far I've made a couple of shirts and almost finished a calico for trousers. I recently got TAOK and am keen to try to make my first ever kilt. I'm undecided whether to go for a knife-pleated 8 yard PV tartan or a medium weight tweed with box pleats and less fabric. I'm planning to pop to The Scotland Shop in Edinburgh soon to get measured by a pro and check out some fabrics - that could be fatal as I suspect I'll fall in love with a heavy woolen tweed and not sure I should take the risk for my first attempt. We shall see... I've been having fun checking out your kiltmaking advice and photos of your quality garments.
Best
Joe
