    I've made 5:

    2 for my son
    1 for Cloves
    1 for my husband (the infamous Pink Panache)
    1 for myself (technically a skirt, not a kilt, although made using the x-kilt instructions, before there were x-skirt instructions-Thanks Alan!)

    Be well,

    I've made 1.5 but am look at making Rebecca's pink and black "tartan" kilt like the blood-thirsty, celtic-haired, flame-goddess made her X/XMTS kilt (reversal of colors).
    Additionally I printed out the XK instructions for my friend Sean so he can make himself one or several.

    Yes, I have

    OK, I'll admit it....

    Before I knew any better, I made a 7+ yard knife pleated cotton canvas kilt. No topstitching, no steeking, not right at all. The khaki colored canvas is so heavy it will stand up by itself. Really needed Barb's book but I winged it instead. I know, a frugal Scotman gets what he bargained for.

    I am working on a woodland camo right now. I just need to get motivated to finish it. After that, it's on to a desert digital camo knockabout.
