Thanks! The X-Kilt project was something I took on for fun while I was between jobs during the summer of 2006. I never thought that 60 of them would get made! I still give the manual away because, well....it's my way of "giving back", sort of. In a way the X-Kilt has become a community thing. There are now several people who've made as many, or more X-Kilts as I have, and of course the F-H.C.A.G. has documented her X-Kilts to the n'th degree with photographs, bless her! So the way I see it, the X-Kilt kind of belongs to "us"....to XMarkstheScot, and to all kilties brave enough to put in some time to see what this "making a kilt" thing is all about.
The whole battle-cry of the X-Kilt is: IF I CAN DO IT, YOU CAN DO IT!......and I truly believe that. I'm not so good with a sewing machine, I'm really not. It's just that when it comes to twenty bucks of cheap cloth and the kitchen table, I have no fear!...and neither should anybody else.
I kind of like that it's still an MS Word file on my PC, and that the pics will be contributed by people I consider to be good friends, as well as my newly-purchased digital camera!
