Hey!

I think it's a great idea to buy cheap to practice. I recently bought a plaid at a fabric store for less than $15 for four yards that I split into two to make an 8 yard kilt. It is cotton and because it was so inexpensive I didn't feel nervous and voila! it came out looking great!

I haven't figured out how to load up pictures here in the XMTS yet so I can't post the pictures of it yet, but they're in my facebook album, if you belong to facebook and are curious.

Cheers,
