I have a few comments

1. I want to make a kilt now
2. Not doing so until I have my own sewing machine, currently I either hand stitch everything or borrow my mother's featherlight machine, which doesn't do anything but back and forward (and needs a new belt badly)
3. I still HATE corduroy, just touching it makes my stomach turn. I do not know why, but I have felt this way about it since I was little. It looks nice, and the lines make it easy to work with, but it takes all the willpower in my body to even hug my boyfriend when he wears it.
4. Shogun rocks, and I've read the book too.
5. since I hate making something for someone else the first time I attempt it, does the x-kilt have instructions for including a very drastic taper? like... 10 inches of taper.
