My book arrived!

[Carolina Kiltman]

It is a wonderful book, and is fun to read, even if you are not quite ready to start right now. I had picked up a bolt end (3.5 yards, approx.) of a tartan (can't tell what kind it is) only to find out that it is assymetrical. Then the book arrived, and I found out how to check if I could make a kilt from it. (yes I can, and I'll post pics when I get started. Hope you like it as much as I do.

Well, I have made a few kilts already but they were of cotton and one in PV. I have 6 yards of 13 ounce tartan cloth and the difference between this and the other materials is like night and day. 13 ounce tartan is such a dream to work with. Now I understand why some kiltmakers prefer medium/heavy tartan for kilts.

I know what you mean. I bought a remnant from F&K and then had to buy the book to go with it. I put up a picture of all my pending projects last night and now just want the time to work on them all.
