Help a friend, and me?

What tartan does he want, Kizmet?

It's axiomatic that we appreciate a thing more if we work for it. But gifts are so nice to receive.

Perhaps the lad could paint your house for a kilt and sporran?

[GMan]

Kizmet,

How about telling your son to join, if he hasn't already? We are a great support system.

[Kizmet]

Such sadness, we have vinyl siding, so the house painting is out.

We do have trees and logs to deal with, however.

Right now, he's in school and already on the computer too much. I'll hold off on introducing him here until after the school year ends.

There's always mowing the lawn.

Just curious - what tartan has D'Argo chosen? Given the number of professional and amateur kiltmakers here, someone may know an inexpensive source of it.



Now I'm picturing "FarScape" with kilted Luxans ...

Hello, Kizmet!

There are relatively inexpensive alternatives, and....and...

hold your breath here....

If you have a sewing machine and some patience, you could make him a kilt. I've done it, a number of the guys on the board here have done it. If he's hot for a particular tartan, then that's tricky, but there are outlets for buying wool and wool-blends without absolutely breaking the bank.

My first kilt which I did pretty much blindly but came out reasonably OK, took me 19 hours to make. If you're an experienced seamstress you might knock 6-8 hours off of that for your first one, if you use velcro closure and stuff like that.

[Kizmet]

While I am an accomplished seamstress, and a kilt is probably not beyond my capabilities, it's not an appealing challenge right now. I'm homeschooling three daughters, over-active in my church and writing a novel.

D'Argo can buy his kilt.

He's picked the Ramsay tartan, because it's blue.
