I hope to turn out both. I'll be making my kilts using a machine, so I won't need to "pay myself" as much due to less time spent. My camo "psuedo-trad" took me about 10 hours to make. The other kilt, seen in the very first post to this thread, was made in about 14 hours... the pleating was a bigger job thanks to actually watching the pattern.
I'm really hoping Barb's book can improve on my kilts. I understand that her book is written for a more hand worked kilt, but I'm certain my wife can help me translate hand worked stitches over to the machine.
One thing I am planning to do is a hidden back pocket, very similar to what Union Kilts has done. I don't intend to have flaps though. I was also thinking of a built in sporran. Not entirely sure how that would go over, though.
The thing is... I'm not really sure what I could do to my kilts that would set them apart from any others... outside of making them to a high quality standard.
