    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.

    Thanks

    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

    Alan,
    What a wonderful set of instructions! You could have easily sold them but you've decided to share your hard work with everyone for free. Thank you very much.

    My wife is now wondering why I want to dig out our sewing machine. She said I couldn't buy any more kilts but didn't say anything about making them.

    Fabric?

    I'm thinking of trying an Xkilt, and I'm looking at two different pieces of fabric. Do you think either one would be suitable?

    The second is a Fraser and Kirkbright remnant. I'm looking at the solid black one, in 11 oz wool.

    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.
