I was meaning to make my X-Kilt with the 4 yards of digi-camo cotton I have and take pics of every step (like a certain Flame-haired Goddess) but my camera does not work (Alan did you take my camera hiking as well?). But I've been teetering. I like the simplicity of the X-Kilt but prefer the look of a more traditional kilt - knife pleats and full width aprons. I have Barb's book, i have X-Kilt instructions. I am trying to get up the nerve to combine the thoughts of both kilt makers and build a more traditional contemporary (oxymoron alert) yet simple to build kilt. Can't wait for Steve's book don't you know. I'm sorry Alan, it is a ingenious design but perhaps not me.
