Wow thank you! I never thought of using forks to measure but that's an amazing tip, would that work on both kilt wool and the bedsheets?

I am so happy I am on the right track with practicing on bedding and things!

I will have a look at forks and pegs when I am back home!

My next steps were going to be trying to make a kilt out of a curtain, as I have never measured anyone before, in my book I bought it tells me how to mesure so I was going to measure then make a kilt from curtains to see how it fits my partner before getting wool! However would you recommend maybe making a kilt for a child (his is nephew for example out of a duvet? I'm just thinking if it's possible to get a tartan close to there they are Munro.

I really appreciate your help as I said I have gone I to this blind and just working my way thought it with you tube and my wee book!

I have wrote a blog about my journey so far and once I am home I might post it in here to see if I am on the right track, because when I tired to upload a picture onto here it didn't work! 😅
