New Kiltmaker?

[Riverkilt]

Ain't dreams great??

I have a couple thoughts Moosehead....where did you learn to make kilts? I bought Barb's book and I buy my tanks from Kathy Lare who went to the Keith School....Jimmy Carbomb got trained. Is it something you can just expect to sit down and figure out? Seems like deciding to sew up kilts would be akin to deciding to sew up suit pants and jackets. Takes a well trained and experienced tailor.

My efforts to sew in my younger days were met with many more challenges than I expected....can you deliver a quality kilt with your sewing and kilt sewing knowledge - or are you expecting to figure it out as you go along?

The other thought is - do you think you'd enjoy spending all day sewing, day after day after day? I grew up in the cut and sew business...granted the ladies in the factory used power machines, but they really zoned out mentally doing repetative work. Kilt sewing by hand/machine would have more variety, but in the long run seems like it would get old, maybe even boring....?

Have you thought about doing it as a cottage industry, with trained seamstresses in your area, like some clothing companies do?

Moosehead would likely have to factor in the loss of his tax status if he did.
