My journey branched toward "maybe I'll try to sew my own by hand" until Barb's book said as how if you're a lefty, forget it. Maybe with box pleats it doesn't matter, in whihc case I may get even more busy this year.
Yah, the whole world is prejudiced against lefties! I think you're going to really enjoy the box pleat

Isn't it amazing how much FUN kilting is? It's almost ridiculous what a difference a few yards of wool wrapping can make. I know I carry myself differently kilted, and I know people react differently to me kilted. Sometimes it feels like I'm doing the world a favor, just by wearing a kilt! All good INDEED!
