Revisions for The Art of Kiltmaking

[Barb T]

Some time next spring, probably. Or maybe early summer. My workload in the spring is going to be pretty stiff. I'm teaching an extra course next spring, and our daughter is getting married in early June. It really depends on how much progress I make before the middle of January whether I can get it done to print this spring or have to finish it after her wedding.

In any event, I indicated on a different thread that I plan to have extra copies of the new chapter on box pleated kilts printed and available in a sticky-back envelope that someone could buy separately and stick onto the inside back cover of the 1st edition if they've already bought the first edition and just want to get the box-pleat chapter. I'll make some other minor changes, but that way, someone won't have to buy the whole second edition if they just want the box pleat instructions. At least that's my plan at the moment!

Cheers,

Barb

I just bought it and haven't finished perusing it nor started to make a kilt but I am certainly glad to hear we will be able to get just the new parts instead of buying the whole book again. I am also excited about the new box pleating chapter since IMHO box-pleated kilts are the best.

Yes, Barb was hoping to get it out by now, but she is marrying off her daughter, preparing for Kilt Kamp, and trying to make up for the kilts she could not make while her hand was recovering from a work related accident.

All this was mentioned on the forum in different places, so I'm not surprised that those new to the forum do not know.

I figured Barb may pop on to verify these, and did not suppose that I had any "real" knowledge other that what she has mentioned in the past.

She's a lovely lady (and I do know that first hand), and her book is well worth the money, and the effort, if nothing else but to know about the artistry that goes into making a kilt, and that WE can do it as well.
