    I've just downloaded it and glanced through it. Having made a few kilts myself the directions are plain to me. I think a few pics would be of help to those making their first kilt.
    Your patience and hard work in doing this are greatly apprecited.Thanks.

    Grrrrrrreat job Alan - maybe one of the mods can post a copy somewhere on the site to keep this from getting lost into the zillion posts a day that is XMarks.

    Alan,

    I'm really impressed! I know zilch about sewing and I COULD FOLLOW IT!
    Can't wait to show it to the F-H.C.A.G.

    Thanks

    Thanks, I'll give it a go soon. I appreciate all the effort that has gone in to developing the x-kilt.

    Thanks for the info this will make a good designe for a kilt (or 7) to wear in a machine shop. Resonably easy to make and in a material that can survive frequent washings and look ok with loww maintanance.

    Amazing manual and creation. My mother-in-law (who is good at sewing, unlike I) is going to make one up for me after the holidays, at which point I'll definitely post it.
