You can make my Philabeg kilt in no time... with sewn-down pleats, sewn-down hips, a tapered apron, and belt loops in no time. The daggum things are a breeze. In fact, they're done in such a way that they can be manufactured on an assembly-line basis. You can begin with step one... wait until you're ready to move on... and pick-up the process without missing a beat.

If you want my specifics, just let me know and I'll try to throw something coherent together for you. It will be in "beginner's" mode, and something that you can do with a sewing machine, an iron, and some time. You'll find yourself making a bunch when you see how easy they can be.

IF you would rather have a casual with ironed pleats, no hip sewing, a beltline, beltloops and a tapered apron... let me know. That one takes less time and is even easier. It's also an easy beginner's kilt to make.

With work, it WILL take just a little time to get the "plans" together, but should not take too long.
JImmy, I'd also be interested in your directions. I and I'm sure others here would be willing to at least pay postage costs to get them.
