Man, UK just totally redesigned their website, and it's sweet. Just looking at all those different kilts is making me drool...but as a college kid, I don't have money!

I got Barb's book...man, it's way above my skills as a seamster. Does anybody have any idea when Jimmy is going to get the eastcoastkilts site going?

I'm really wanting to make my own UK/AK/PK/FK type casual...I would run out and grab 6 or 7 yards of twill or denim, but I wouldn't have any clue where to start cutting or pleating or sewing or measuring or anything like that. \

Any bright ideas for adapting Barb's wonderful traditional hand-sewn instructions to make something non-trad with a machine? Or should I hoard away 25% of my next few workstudy checks and just buy cloth, and start experimenting with my own designs? Or just hoard money and buy a UK...
