What am I getting my self into!
Hello all. I am a total noob, but after stumbling on to the site here I have been thinking about making myself a kilt. I have wanted to buy one for quite some time but could never get past the cost.
So last night I am reading X-kilt_final2 for the 3th time and my wife comes in and says "What you doing?"
"Reading about how to make a Kilt." I reply.
Convinced nothing was going on she left the room. A bit later she comes back. "Still reading that?"
"Not still. Again."
"What?"
"I'm reading it again so I'm sure I understand it."
She gives me the "are you kidding me/don't waste your time" look and I reply "It doesn't seem that hard"
"Skye..." (Read: Don't do this. You're going to make a mess and drive me nuts.")
"Someone has put together a very good looking set of destructions here. (I always say destructions instead of directions).
"You can't." (Read: You're not going to be able to do this.)
So a day later, and 5 times through X-kilt_final2, I'm sitting here with 4 yards of 65\35 poly\cotton in OD green.
I'll keep you guys up to date on how it goes. Hope you all don't mind if I lean heavily on you for support as far as the sewing goes. We have a Brother sewing machine that I have used once. Even then all I did was put a big nasty zigzag in a old rag to make sure it was set up right. I did it once, I'm sure I can do it again
