I don't sew and I can't comment on you. But I know Brucebc sews his own kilts. Why don't you come out and join us for a pint and share your experience with us.

Welcome from France !

It’s good to have you here. I would suggest you to purchase "The Art of Kiltmaking" Step-by-step Instructions for Making a Traditional Scottish Kilt by Barbara Tewksbury and Elsi Stuehmeyer. (Celtic Dragon Press)
