Can you send one of those my way? I would love to have her support and enthusiasm around.

Everything looks great F-H C.A.G. and thanks for encouraging the family tradition of looking stylish.

If only I had had a F.H.C.A.G. while growing up . . .

Looks great!

Be careful - you wouldn't want the kilt to be repeating some of those things.

Excellent job on the wee kilt! Can't wait to see pics of the dynamic duo, Panache & Son, after the next XMarks tartan run.

Bravo F-H.C.A.G.! Sinbad looks well pleased!

Thanks for all the photos as you've been going along, and for taking the time to answer my questions.

What do you plan to line Sinbad's kilt with, and how much of the internal construction will be lined?

Best regards

I'll be lining it with whatever cotton cloth I can find in my huge pile o' scraps. The last one (and first attempt) I lined with some leftover thin black cotton material I had used to make Panache a Renaissance Faire shirt years ago. I am going to line to about halfway down from the fell, because I want as little wool touching Sinbad's legs as possible (but don't want the lining to show). He says, "Mommy, this kilt makes my legs feel like they are going to sneeze!"

(and yes, this is quite possibly the cutest thing I have ever heard).

Be well,
