Kiltmakers' debriefing.....

[kiltedwolfman]

I just got out of the shower and decided to eat the final "Sinnabun"! This message by the way is for a certain camp participant who I know upon reading this will be shouting at the sky in rage " You mean there was one more and I missed it? Noooooo! "

Camp was great and while teaching was arduous ( it's tough trying to teach the "right way" when you've learned short cuts ) the whole even was excellent! I learned a great deal from the traditional side of the house, and had a blast meeting, and working with all the folks that turned out. Great job everyone!

What a great looking tartan for hiking, what is it? Are there any photos of the finished kilt in this tartan?

Standard --

Re post 99 (just above) -- I believe the tartan is Douglas Weathered, and was being worked on by Charlotte. She did not finish before she left for summer vacation (she is in high school) but will be back in the shop in September to complete it. At that point we will post a photo showing the final product. It is a lovely tartan, isn't it?

Thanks for the quick response. Yes, it is a lovely tartan, and one I'd be happy to own. Can't wait to see pictures of the finished kilt.
