Hello all!
So my wife told me upfront that she and my 18 month old would likely not be able to afford a kilt for Father's Day this year... Understandable as I'm the only one working right now and essentially I would be buying it for myself! lol However! She was able to conspire with her mom and they bought me a copy of "The Art of Kiltmaking"! This makes me a VERY happy father!! Barb, many thanks to you and Miss Stuehmeyer for such an amazing exploration into the ART of kiltmaking!! I've learned SO much and though I have very little sewing experience (see 'none'), I truly feel like with my seamstress wife looking on and tutoring me, I could actually make a kilt!! Wonderful feeling and I look forward to starting it!

Which brings me to my next question: In my search for woven, non-fusible hair canvas, I found something made by Pellon that seems to fit the bill... Found here. Does anyone have any experience with this stuff? Is it strong enough for the purpose of a traditional kilt?? It seemed to have all of the properties that the book describes yet I seem to remember that the book says the "Pellon-type" wouldn't work.... Any thoughts??
Thanks!
