Doc, get the Scottish pattern set from www.folkwear.com. The instructions for making the kilt in there are very nicely done and very clear. It is aimed at hand stitching, but doing it by machine instead is no big problem. It also has patterns for a Prince Charlie, waistcoat, adaptation of the kilt to make a kilted skirt as well as knitting directions for a ladies vest and argyll hose. Very nice pattern set and worth the $20.
