Airport kilting
Hi all,
For all you DIYers, thought you might like to see my set-up to work on kilts at a gate in an airport. OttLite is propped up against the collapsible handle of my carry-on bag, and all my sewing stuff is in the front pocket, which opens to about 80°, like a little shelf. Works great, takes up only one seat, and doesn't require a table!

They let you on the plane with all those stick pins?

Believe it or not, my fabulous tartan shears (see below) have blades that are just under the TSA limit. I found this out when I accidentally left them in my carry-on and thought they were going to be confiscated when they were discovered. Turns out that blades under 4" long on sewing scissors are OK, and my scissors miraculously just made it. So, pins are no problem at all. I haven't pushed my luck since, though, especially when I traveling outside the US - my fabulous tartan shears go into my checked luggage!

The tartan in your OP looks remarkably like Scott Green, Modern. Looks like a 'cousin' of mine is going to be a very lucky kilt-wearer.

What a great setup!
I see you don't let any time go to waste. Everybody else is staring at their phones while you're making a work of art.
About travelling with scissors, we pipers generally carry something to cut hemp (the string that holds bagpipes together).
Some pipers use knives. I've always used the blunt-ended small scissors intended for school children.
Mine have Day-Glo green plastic handles. These have advantages
1) being blunt, you can't accidentally punch a hole in your $300 sheepskin pipe bag.
2) TSA people don't hassle you.
3) if you have to do emergency maintenance in the dark (say, backstage during Brigadoon) you can find the darn things.
