    Depending on how much experience you have sewing, I'd either recommend or STRONGLY recommend that you go down and buy about 5 yards of cheap polycotton and make your first XKilt with that rather than using your nice tartan. That way, you can get a feel for the process before you end out possibly ruining that nice tartan.

    But, by all means, once you do it, post pics! I've been planning a tartan XKilt of my own.
