You could, sure. Quite a number of commercial MUGs are done this way (I suspect, but don't know, that they're actually sewn in the half, and then the two sides joined towards the end of assembly. Easier to work with half a kilt than the whole, and promotes better specialization). On the other hand, it's harder to do. And it requires some fiddling to get right. Since it's not likely that the fabric you're going to use costs more than $10/yard, you're only saving 20 or 30 bucks (and since you can make another (or something else) out of what's left, it's not that big a deal. ) I'd only do this if I could only get a short piece of the fabric I wanted, or were working with something like corduroy, where it's required. (And I'm not doing that again, any time soon!) Or an expensive tartan fabric, of course.

Thoughts?
The other thing you might do is teach your rogue ow to make his own. It's not hard, as you know.
