First "traditional" kilt project

[Heming]

Don't bother with the Folkware pattern for PC, it's been discussed here at length and all agree that it is more costume than garment. Better to go with a jacket conversion -- or see Alan H's "uber formal on the cheap" thread for creating a formal look from online restaurant uniform sources.

I know there's been different opinions on the Folkwear pattern. But people I trust have also said that if you know your way around a tailored jacket, it's a good starting point. So since I know my way around a tailored jacket, i'll take a stab at it. I mainly need the pattern for the shape of the jacket's front and back - I'll tailor this thing to my body anyway.

Btw not all xmarks reviewers diss folkwear either

Make a muslin. The balance of a PC is very different than a normal jacket.
