X-Kilt: Sew Your Own, manual available for download

**Southern Breeze** · 11th August 06, 04:15 PM

I've just downloaded it and glanced through it. Having made a few kilts myself the directions are plain to me. I think a few pics would be of help to those making their first kilt.
Your patience and hard work in doing this are greatly apprecited.Thanks.

Grrrrrrreat job Alan - maybe one of the mods can post a copy somewhere on the site to keep this from getting lost into the zillion posts a day that is XMarks.

Alan,

I'm really impressed! I know zilch about sewing and I COULD FOLLOW IT!
Can't wait to show it to the F-H.C.A.G.

Cheers

Awesome Alan! You are truly a great resource for XMarks.

Thanks, I'll give it a go soon. I appreciate all the effort that has gone in to developing the x-kilt.

Thanks for the info this will make a good designe for a kilt (or 7) to wear in a machine shop. Resonably easy to make and in a material that can survive frequent washings and look ok with loww maintanance.

Alan,

The Flame-Haired Celtic Amazon Goddess just read it and LOVED it. She had just completed a kilt for Sinbad and was going to work on one for me. When she read your "manifesto" (her description) she smacked her forehead and realized that she had missed a lot about kilt construction. Stuff that isn't so important on a young boy's kilt, but would make a big difference on one for a man.

The F-H.C.A.G. sends you a big "Thanks"!

Cheers

Amazing manual and creation. My mother-in-law (who is good at sewing, unlike I) is going to make one up for me after the holidays, at which point I'll definitely post it.
