Measuring a youngin... room to grow?

[Geoff Withnell]

RockyR,

Thank you, I think that is essential what I am going to try and do, build is a little room for expansion to try to have this kilt last him as long as it can, and then later we will have a new kilt made. We are having 30 meters woven, so hopefully there will be enough left later when he is ready for a new kilt.



Goeff,

What ways have you found to use the left over materials? My Fiancée intends to use some of the extra material to make a duvet cover for our bed, as well as incorporate some of the material into her dress. We are also likely to make ribbon ties for the wedding bouquets and flowers from the material as well. But I'm curious what other ideas are out there.

Michele - my wife and co-conspirator in various Celtic doings even though she does have a discernible drop of Celtic blood in her veins - has made various ribbon backings for broaches, sashes, hair ribbons, etc, etc... She likes to have a bit of Davidson about her person any time we are somewhere where I am wearing Davidson and "representing" as a Davidson Clan member. E.G. Burns dinners, Highland Games, S.A.M.S. events and so forth. She has also made herself several tartan skirts. She is planning on retiring from nursing in about a year, and we may set a business with her making tartan skirts (not kilts).
