G'day from Melbourne, Australia

A belated welcome to you from England's south coast.

I too just love the tartan, just one of several Irish tartans I have mentally earmarked for future purchase, and it is good to see it made up as a kilt, rather than just as a swatch.

Take care,
Ham.

Not far from the Isle of Wight I see. I used to go there for my holidays when I was a young lad! Lovely part of the world you live in. I haven't been back there since I moved to Australia in 1974.

I have to make it back there sometime.

That stitching is there to keep the pleat from "poking" out from behind the bottom of the apron, I believe. What is that tartan? It's fantastic!

Yeah, I like it too. It's an Irish Tartan; county Kildare. Both my mother's and father's families came from there. Although, like me, they were born in London.

Thanks!

Unlike most Ozzies, I don't like beets on my burgers. Maybe that's because I'm really a Pom (=Limey). Jalapeños on the other hand sounds like a great idea!
