I got my material from JoAnn Fabrics. I'm not sure if there are any in your neck of the woods. I am making a full traditional kilt according to the instructions in Barb T.'s book. Being a larger fellow (6'7" 340lbs.) I got 9 yards double width and split it with my brother. The best thing about JoAnn's is that they always have coupons! I used a 40% off and got all I needed to get started (fabric, black sewing thread, white basting thread, wax and needles) for $35! I just made another trip to get fabric for the stabilizer, interfacing and lining and it was another $30. Can't beat a nice kilt for $65!
