    Definitely dangerous!
    My wife has put a hold on me for now, mainly because I'm starting to stack it up faster than I can sew it. But that last delivery from Denver Fabrics sure is going to make a pretty kilt!!!
    Here's what I found there (on the internet)
    It don't mean a thing, if you aint got that swing!!

    For lack of a better word I call these things pseudo-tartans. I'm pretty sure this is nothing official (although the last unknown tartan I bought turned out to be a Black Stewart).
    I don't know. I just know it's gorgeous fabric, with a REALLY nice feel. It's advertized as wool but I can't tell if its 100% or a blend.
    Anyway, I think it will look great as a kilt and will look good with my black kilt jacket.
    You can find good stuff on the internet if you are patient. I go to several fabric store links and search on "wool plaid". Sometimes I get lucky.
    Denver fabrics is a regular search.

    That's nothin'! I work in a fabric store!

    Sounds like a pretty good haul, though. I've got more projects for my wife than for myself at the moment, but I think I have more fun making things for her

    Happy stitching!
