Oh Bonnie, I think you are asking the wrong group of people. We all would sit in wrapped attention for hours watching someone like yourself or Barb T stitch away. But I like your concept. With a collection of kilts at various stages of construction, they get to see each step in the process -which will probably be very enlightening for some. IF you want to go for the shock and awe factor... start your presentation by talking about how expensive tartan is .... and then rip a piece down to size. Then explain why it is done that way. (I still get a little slack-jawed at the fabric store when you take something to the cutting table and they make a little nick with the scissors and rip the rest.)

Another aspect of the "art" of kilt-making that I think is most interesting is the various ways that the tartan can be pleated. One tartan in two or three different pleating styles might be interesting to folks, as well.

But then again, these are just my suggestions; and I hang out here too much, and would sit and watch you simply stitch for hours. So I don't know how much of this you might want to take to heart.
