Hi

Well, actually, kilts aren't made from patterns (even the Folkwear kilt "pattern" isn't a pattern but rather a set of instructions).

Umm, ahhh, well....sounds self-serving, but I'm going to suggest that you buy the book I wrote on kiltmaking a few years ago. It's designed to take even a person who's inexperienced in sewing through the whole process step by step, regardless of the tartan or size/shape of the person. It's called The Art of Kiltmaking, and you can order it on the web at http://www.celticdragonpress.com

If you want to read a few unsolicited endorsements, you can check the comments posted this morning on the Newbie Board under "kiltmaker and kiltbook author"

And, once you start making your kilt, you (or anyone else!!) can always e-mail me for advice!!

Cheers,

Barb
