    One thing I have learned from tha making of my own is just how much time, thought and work goes into making kilts. Having finished the waist, and the back panel, I have now moved on to the pleating. Got a whole foot done last night. For myself, I have found that the extra work of beig certain that the plaid stripes all match with every new feature and then sewing them precisely into place is the most time consuming part.

    Hey! I hadn't noticed that you are local. Belated welcome to XMTS, and look me up at the Gordon tent at Stone Mountain - or at Loch Hartwell, if you plan to go to those games as well. Both I and Cavscout will be manning a vendors booth at Hartwell. If you need a belt or sporran straps to go with your new kilt, he's your best bet.

    Thanks for the GREAT information! I was raised between Sandy Springs & Buckhead, back when Roswell Rd was two lanes and North Springs was 8 miles out in the country. I have added Hartwell and Waxhaw to my calendar. Maybe my shipment of kilts will arrive by then. Now to find some good embroidered patches and buttons for my various kilts.
