Kilt Kamp 2015 - who's up for it?
Time to start thinking ahead! Steve and I are bringing Kilt Kamp back to the northeast US next summer. If you don't know what Kilt Kamp's all about, you can see the photo journal from last summer's KK at http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...-2014-a-85186/
Here are the details for Kilt Kamp 2015!
When: starts 8 am Sunday, July 26, ends 5 pm Thursday, July 30. The Great American Irish Festival and pipe band competition is on Saturday the 25th, and people are welcome to come a day early to go to the Festival.
Where: Hamilton College, Clinton, NY; low-cost housing is available in the dorms; motel and B&B options are available nearby.
Instructors: Barb Tewksbury (author of The Art of Kiltmaking) for traditional kiltmaking (knife, box, and Kingussie) and Steve Ashton (owner of Freedom Kilts) for contemporary kiltmaking.
Cost: $350 plus lodging. You provide tartan (or we can order tartan for you at wholesale prices) and other kilting materials.
We'll post the official registration thread after January 1. Just holler if you have questions!
Who's interested?

Shrek: No.
Donkey: He makes you cry?
Shrek: Nooo!
Donkey: Oh, you put him out in the sun, he turns brown, starts sprouting little hairs.
Shrek: Yessssssss!
I love that part of the movie.
I'm interested. Not sure if it'll be traditional or contemporary yet.

Already!!!!! The pressure is too great.....Well, ok. I'll start collecting beer cans.
Harlan was so much better this last year. Only two accidents. To be fair, he has too much water before bedtime. Wasn't his fault.

Miss! Miss! Can I come?? Please? Oh, PLEEZE, Miss! Can I do both traditional and contemporary sessions please? Wooly Wildcat trad, handstitched, and XMTS w pockets with Steve.
Oh, I've got to pay for it. I'd better start drinking beer so I can save the beer cans. Might have to buy a lottery ticket to make doubly sure.
Yours in stitches,
Grizzled Ian

I would love to learn the Kingussie pleating style. If I can't make it to Kamp, are there instructions out there?
