Nor Cal Rabble-make-a-kilt-day

[sydnie7]

Sorry to hear that. . . barring a lottery win between now and then, I'd have to fly straight from 3 days working in Nashville. Most likely not gonna happen but sure hope all the rest of you folks have fun!

I'll keep an eye out for NCRMaKDII.

*bump*

It's approaching fast, so if you want to come, let us know....out-of-towners, time to book flights, etc. etc.

Kilts gonna get made...

I'm making a kilt skirt in MacFarlane, Red, modern for Mrs. Farlander

Mrs. Farlander will probably sit, nosh and gossip while she finished my kilt hose. Maybe~!

The F-H.C.A.G. appears to have been bribed into knocking out something for Panache.

way2fractious will make an appearance, not sure what he's gonna make.

MacFhearchair is either making herself a Farqharson "throwing" kilt in PV or maybe a kilt for Mr. MacFhearchair.

One of our Nor Cal Rabble regulars who doesn't post here much any more, to the point that I've completely forgotten his X Marks handle but his name is Bob.... is gonna turn out....something. And his kid, "Scooby", I hear is going to be working on a skunk sporran!.

It appears that Rogerws76 will turn up and make something.

And that's all that I know about NOW...... there could be more.

Not you have piqued my interest. I live in Montevalle so that part is easy. However, I have never used a sewing machine.
But never too old to start. Aye?

[MrPlaid]

Are spectators welcome?

[Alan H]

Never too old to start! - and yes, spectators are welcome, but why not try your hand at an X-Kilt? The manual is right here for download, and you can just go to JoAnne's and buy some solid-color cotton/polyester twill, or some camouflage and bang out a knockaround kilt. You also could scope out ebay for some budget wool or wool blend tartan. While you couldn't really get through a handsewn knife pleat kilt in one day, you can get pretty close to "done" with a super-simple box pleat, if it had only about 5-6-7 pleats.

I will be bringing down two sewing machines and a crummy iron and an ironing board. I'll need one of the machines myself, but the other one is available for someone else to use.

[Alan H]

I need a head-count, so that we can figure out a per-person contribution to reimburse Panache and the F_H.C.A.G. for the cost of the hall. This is the same hall that the Nor Cal Rabble uses for it's Burns Night Supper, which is two weeks after the Make a Kilt Day.

HEAD COUNT, please! I will watch this thread for commitments until Christmas Day. After that, invitations are closed.

Would you mind if my wife (Judith) and I (Merv) come along to your make-a-kilt day? We're kilt wearers and keen costumers - we have our own sewing machine(s). Where-abouts is this going to take place, we live in Saratoga but haven't been to any Nor Cal Rabble events before.
