Hi there.
My father and I both have some lovely and unusual Macdonald Modern dress kilts that we really like. They were bought cheaply on Ebay to wear at my cousin's wedding. (All of her male guests were wearing the pride of Scotland tartan, but my Dad and I wanted to go with our family tartan and found that this one looked similar enough that it wouldn't be out of place in the photographs.)
A short while ago, we decided to make fly-plaids to go as we have them for our other kilts, but couldn't find them anywhere.
I managed to buy another of the kilts from Ebay and have picked it appart and pressed it and found that there is more than enough material to make two fly plaids.

Now, I'm terrible at hand-sewing, but my Mum has decided to help me out and let me use her sewing machine to make them.


So, does anyone have a few instructions on how to make a decent fly-plaid that will hang well?


Many thanks.
