Well, I have some material made of some sort of wool blend (I should probably start reading the labels on bolts of material and note what they are *grin*). I wouldn't call it a tartan or even a plaid, but it does have a very nice plaid like pattern and is fairly period looking for RenFaire.

Anyway... as all our belongings leave tomorrow for Maine, I presently find myself with no sewing machine. I do have a needle and thread, though. With Barb's book on it's way and about 6 weeks with minimal belongings, I have decided to undertake hand making a kilt. Hopefully, it goes well. It will definately go slow.

Since we did keep the digicam behind, I will be able to snag some photos as I progress. I can't guarentee that I'll be able to post them as I go (all the FTP stuff for my web site is on my main PC... not on this laptop), but if I figure something out, I will post 'em.

Wish me luck!
