I was 10 or 11 It would have been a costume "kilt"

four years ago I thought I'd make a "proper" kilt and looked for instructions online. I made the equivalent of a 5 yard casual kilt in a cotton tartan (Black Watch) I spent too many hours pressing it (before every time I wore it...) I decided that was it and went out and bought some wool.

I made a nice 6 yarder with a solid green fabric and wore that up until a few months ago.

I now have a few modern styled kilts and a PV 8 yarder in the Maple leaf Tartan and a 4 yard box pleat in Black Watch. Beyond that there's some Gordon regimental fabric waiting and some Isle of Skye on order... (this will stop eventually right?)
