    Now, now, let's be honest here.You saw that F&K grey in person and just fell in love with it. The dashing model it was on looked just smashing and you thought "Hmm, very nice. If it only was a bit smaller." Good luck!

    You know Big Mikey, I have to say I'd already ordered that light grey when Alan pointed out that you had been wearing it at the NorCal Rabble night. I did go back and look at that very picture after he told me that. He did say I probably wouldn't need as much of the grey as you used. As great as that looks on you, I bought it for the price and because they had that amazing deal on the MacBeth as well.

    I hope you enjoy making your kilt as much as I did mine. Barb & Elsie's book is great although I did have to puzzle over a few sentences. I put that down to my being English not American. Nevertheless, I found the book to be easy to follow and gave a great result.

    I have to reiterate one point that Barb makes in the book. If you're not happy with the bit sewing you just did, rip it out and do it over. It's good advice.

    Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. I've seen that several places in fact, and on my last XKilt, not quite done so pictures come soon, I took out three pleats that hung wrong when I was nearly done and realigned them.
