    I...ah, I hadn't heard about that particular issue. Maybe I should wait until the second edition to start work on my first X-kilt (yeah, I know, I've been talking about starting one for something like a year now.)

    Just save attaching the Velcro until you know how the deep pleat on the left-hand side of the apron is going to fold.

    Pfffft! Is that all? I was thinking it was going to require some refiguring of numbers or remeasuring of...things that need measuring.

    I'm going shopping tonight for fabric. Also for materials with which to build a kilt-making station. There's not enough room in the house for the inital stages of making the kilt (where all the fabric gets stretched out at once), so I've some up with a way to set one up temporarily in the driveway or on the front lawn. Can't imagine what the neighbors will think.

    I use the dining table for layout. Can't get it all stretched out at once, but that has never bothered me. Then again, I've been laying out sewing patterns that way for *cough*45*cough* years. . . excuse me, there's a glass of wine with my name on it!
