LOL! Well it HAS to be "Done" here shortly. I've got two lengths of tartan sitting in my room, and I want to get to THEM, soon....

....Though I might break down and make myself an X-Kilt out of bull denim, since I gave PiperGeorge my prototype #3......which by the way, he's wearing to work as a veterinarian, He tells me.

OK..OK...I just posted photos and my revisions in the Contemorary Kilts forum.

(Maybe that thread should be in this forum instead...?)

By the way....

If anyone gets offers to build X-Kilts or variations on X-Kilts commercially, then you have my permission to use this design. I did not trademark it, and I give it to the general kilt-wearing (and stitching) community as my contribution to kilted freedom. Develop it, modify it, stitch 'em up how you want and enjoy. If you can turn over a few bucks by making your own version of the X-Kilt, then good on ya.

Tell you what.... if You actually start a business making X-Kilts, then make me one, and we're square!

Hi Alan, just wanted to say how much I appreciate your posting the X-Kilt instructions. I've never sat at a sewing machine in my life, but I found myself there last night sewing a 12 foot hem! Your directions are very clear (and entertaining), and I hope to have my first kilt made by next week. I'll post a picture when it's done. Thanks again!
